Scoot & Paddle and BEND Yoga are teaming up to create the ultimate Saturday morning wellness experience on the Milford shoreline.

Start your day with peaceful sunrise beach yoga as the morning light dances across the water and the sounds of gentle waves and soaring gulls surround you. Feel refreshed, grounded, and energized as you move through an invigorating yoga session right on the sand. 🌊✨

Then take to the water for a relaxing paddleboard or kayak adventure during the most beautiful time of day. Watch the sun sparkle like diamonds across the sea as you paddle the coastline, get in a workout, or simply float and enjoy the peaceful morning atmosphere.

After your paddle, unwind beachside with:

☕ Fresh Coffee

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.

We will be leaving from Old Lyme or Essex 

It will be dark paddling back to the dock. Bring hands free lights like deck lights or lanterns or rent in advance. 

Bring warm clothes for the chilly evenings after the sun goes down and a hat.

$95 per boat or $145 for tandem- choose kayak, paddleboard or two man kayak

 Calling all witches and wizards to come "Ride the Tide" in Witch's Style and paddle down the Housatonic River for the fifth annual Witches Paddle! 

Meetup in your best witch costume (witch/warlock 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 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. There is plenty of help getting out and unloading on the Dockside dock, no one has to do it alone.

**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.
