Calling all witches and wizards to come paddle down the Housatonic River for the third annual Witches Paddle.Meetup dressed in your best witch costume (costumes required) for a paddle down the Housy (ride the tide with the outgoing current) leaving from Sunnyside school in Shelton and ending at Dockside Brewery in Milford for a bite and a drink. People in sit in side kayaks or for anyone with mobility issues I suggest planning to unload at the state ramp which is very close to the dockside ramp but easier to unload as there is a ramp as opposed to the dock. However, many were able to unload successfully onto the Dockside ramp. There are plenty of fellow paddlers to help.
***This is approximately a 7-ish mile paddle, please be prepared to paddle a long distance and prepare for weather conditions as it gets chilly at this time of year. I would highly recommend a change of clothes or layers in dry bags, lots of water, etc. It is a bit of a long paddle but feels easy traveling with the current.
*Everyone is responsible for figuring out your own carpool coordination. Feel free to start up a chat discussion here too. This is a one way paddle so we end in a different location than starting. I unload and drop my car off at Dockside and get a ride back to Sunnyside so I do not need to go back after the paddle.
PFDs/whistles required.
