Thanks to all of you who joined us last night for a beautiful paddle on the Liecester Flood Plains. The water is quickly dropping but we were able to pick our way through the marsh and find some great open water. Pictures of last nights paddle can be found on this page.

I have included directions b/c Lower Bullock road is flooded right now and you will have to access it from the West.

MPC - 1st Paddle of the season Monday 4/26/10 - 6PM

With all of the rain we are getting and possible snow showers this weekend I have decided to postpone our first paddle until Monday April 26th. We will either be paddling on the Otter Creek in Middlebury (behind Mr. Ups or in the flooded fields surrounding the Otter Creek in Salisbury, if there is enough water. We will try and launch around 6PM and paddle until dark so please bring a headlamp and some warm clothes. Paddle gloves or pogies and neoprene socks or neoprene paddling boots are recommended for this time of year.
