WMBD – Group Birding Paddle @ Missisquoi River / Mac's Bend Launch
May 19 @ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

As part of our Bird Day Weekend events, volunteers from the Friends of Missisquoi will lead a group birding paddle on the Missisquoi River. We’ll meet at the Louie’s Landing parking area, then drive to the Mac’s Bend launch site.

We’ll head downstream towards the Missisquoi Delta and then back upstream to the launch site. Total distance is about 5 miles.

You must bring your own canoe or kayak, paddles, and life jackets. (PFDs are required to be worn.)

Please pre-register in advance for this event, both so we can maintain a manageable group and so we have contact information if we need to make any changes or weather cancellations.

Please register in advance for this event through this link.
