Event Description

Join CFPA for a magical moonrise paddle on scenic Black Pond, a 500-acre freshwater treasure nestled in Meriden. We’ll launch at 7:30 PM from the public boat launch and enjoy a peaceful evening on the water as the moon begins to rise around 8:30 PM.

Black Pond offers a stunning mix of steep eastern shorelines, quiet marshes, and a rich variety of aquatic plants. As you paddle, you’ll glide past native Robbins’ pondweed and coontail, two species that have become increasingly abundant in recent years. This evening paddle is a chance to take in the sights and sounds of summer, and reflect in nature with like-minded folks.

Participants must bring their own kayak or canoe and wear a personal flotation device (PFD). Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please dress for the temperature, bring insect repellent, and consider packing water, binoculars, or a camera. Space is limited.
