Go for a Paddle in Essex
The Essex Land Trust invites you to bring your own boat Tuesday, June 9, for an early summer kayak/canoe trip into peaceful North Cove and Falls River, accompanied by a naturalist. See the abundant wildlife and revisit the history of this waterway where many of Essex’s colonial ships were built.
Participants should arrive at 4:30 p.m. to register on-site and launch their crafts on the rising tide prior to the 5 p.m. departure time. A safety boat will accompany. Bad weather cancels.
North Cove is a 230-acre body of tidal water between the Falls River and the Connecticut River. The cove is formed in part by Great Meadow, a 200-acre “pendant bar” or levee along the Connecticut River. Great Meadow has no public access.
