Join us on Friday, June 23rd at 9:00am for a scenic guided paddle on Lake Wicwas in Meredith. LRCT Guide, Scott Powell, will lead participants along the eastern and western shores of Lake Wicwas and up the narrow stream to a beaver dam on Blake Brook if water levels permit. Participants will paddle past LRCT conserved lands and have the chance to view loons and their chicks, heron, osprey, tree swallows, kingbirds, many passerines, and maybe a bald eagle! The trip will be about 3 miles round trip. The level of difficulty is moderate, but please keep in mind that weather conditions on that day may affect the difficulty.
