Full Moon Paddle

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

Joins us on a full moon paddle on secluded Little Dyer Pond!

If we are lucky the full moon will be rising on the far shore and we’ll paddle the pond, exploring the wetlands, beaver lodges, and shoreline looking for beaver and otter activity, and listening for birds calling - loons, owls.

We will leave from the the Hidden Valley Nature Center (HVNC) gate promptly, so please arrive 15 minutes before the official start time. We will hike 1 mile to the pond and our canoes.

Make sure you are wearing water-proof or quick-dry clothing and it’s always a good idea to bring layers! (A windbreaker or fleece are great options.) Try to avoid both cotton and denim as the water can still be very cold. 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.

We will provide canoes, paddles, adult life jackets, and a limited number of child life jackets if needed (ages 3 and up). Please, be sure to bring bug repellent and a headlamp. 

Registration is free but required, and all participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
