The annual “tornado of swallows” is one of the most intriguing natural phenomena of the lower river valley. Every September, flocks of migrating tree swallows numbering tens of thousands of birds roost on the islands at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Whirling in the twilight sky, the huge flocks then descend, all at once, into the reeds for the night.

- Shared time on the water with like-minded women.
We’ll paddle together out to Charles Island for our mobility session and meditation.

3rd Annual Witch's Paddle
Calling all witches and wizards to come "Ride the Tide" in Witch's Style and paddle down the Housatonic River for the third annual Witches Paddle this October 19th, 2024
Meetup at 1:00PM in your best witch costume (witch costume required) for a paddle down the Housy (ride the tide with the outgoing current) leaving from Sunnyside school in Shelton and ending at Dockside Brewery in Milford. Most plan to stay for a bite to eat and drink.
*We will unload at one of two locations. On the dockside dock, which is quite high, fine for paddleboards and sit on top kayaks, however some people like to end at the State boat ramp and dock just before Dockside for an easier unload if they have a sit inside kayak. Completely up to you. They are very close to each other.
**This is a 7 mile paddle (approximately), please be prepared to paddle a long distance and prepare for weather conditions as it may get chilly at this time of year. I would highly recommend a change of clothes or layers in dry bags, snacks, lots of water, etc. It feels much easier traveling with the current than a normal seven mile paddle- trust.
***Everyone is responsible for figuring out your own carpool coordination. This is a ONE WAY PADDLE so we end in a different location than starting. I unload at Sunnyside and then drop vehicle off at Dockside and get a lift back to Sunnyside so that I do not need to go back after for a vehicle.
October 18th
11:30AM-4:00PM
Leaf Peeping Paddle
Join us for a lovely paddle with lots of bird sightings, wildlife, peace and quiet. Stop half way for a nice BYO picnic lunch before heading back
https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Boating/Boat-Launches/Lake-Lillinonah-Boat-Launch---Bridgewater
There is a large parking area and a paved boat ramp. Please arrive early to unload, plan to be ON WATER by 10AM
It is about a 10-mile round trip. It's a casual leaf peeping trip and not difficult (fast) but strenuous (long) please no first timers or anyone with injuries that prevent completing paddle distance of 10 miles
Please bring your own lunch and plenty of water
BYO Boat Please bring a PFD and whistle
Please bring your sense of fun and adventure
It is cold this time of year so dress appropriately wetsuits/drysuits and booties recommended. Dress in layers. Change of clothes in dry bags, etc.
We stop at Ferris Acres for Ice Cream (Apple Crisp Sundae for me) if anyone wants to add that to their itinerary. It is a delicious and welcome addition to the day and well deserved. No-guilt calories after a long paddle.
