Enjoy an evening illuminated by the glow of the full 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 along the shore to the North end of Little Dyer 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. This program is likely to run at least 2.5 hours.

All are welcome! Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

In the case of inclement weather which prevents us from running the paddle on the day listed, you will be notified by noon that day and the paddle will be held on the following evening.

This is a free program, but space is limited and registration is required.

Refund Policy.

Own a mountain bike and ready to hit the trails this fall? Then join us on this after school mountain bike ride.

Sarah Plummer, local yoga and outdoor adventure instructor from Maine Outdoor Yoga, will lead this group ride along the trails at Hidden Valley. Participants will learn the basics of mountain biking on this fun and challenging beginner to intermediate ride.   

Make sure your bike is trail ready, tires inflated, brakes in working condition and able to navigate trail riding. Please bring a helmet, wear sneakers and bring water in a well fitted backpack. 

The group will meet at the Welcome Center at 3:30 PM and return before 5:00 PM. Parents are welcome to join the ride if they have their own bike, bike on your own, or enjoy a walk while the kids ride.

This ride will happen rain or shine.

While this is a free event, we appreciate your registration which is essential for our planning.
