Full Moon Paddle

  • Hidden Valley Nature Center 131 Egypt Road Jefferson, ME, 04348 United States (map)

Enjoy an evening illuminated by the glow of the full Buck Moon.

Discover a new way of being outside, when sounds become more pronounced and sight takes a backseat to our other senses.

Hike the 1 mile to the pond and our canoes. With a little luck, the full moon will be rising on the far shore as we paddle out into the still, open, pond. The group will take moments of silence to listen for owls, loons and beaver tail slaps, chat as we paddle and revel in the brightness of earth's closest celestial friend.

Make sure you are wearing water-proof or quick-dry clothing; it’s always a good idea to bring layers (a windbreaker or fleece are great options). Try to avoid both cotton and denim as they do not keep you warm once wet and do not dry quickly. Make sure you have sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and bring your own water bottle. We should be on the water no longer than an hour and a half, and land at the same location we launched from.

All equipment is provided.

Be sure to bring bug repellent and a headlamp.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

This program is likely to run at least 2.5 hours.
