Middlebury Paddle Club


Middlebury Paddle Club was designed as a place for local paddlers of all abilities to come together. We are open to all abilities and non motorized water craft. There are no formal trip leaders but we recommend that paddlers discuss each outing before launching to make sure everyone is on board with the trip plan. We will have a meeting at the beginning of each season to set a paddle night for the season. A typical paddle season for us is Mid April - November dependent upon the weather. If you are interested in joining our club please sign up for our email list below. Thanks and happy paddling

Required equipment: Canoe or kayak, pfd, head lamp.
Recommended equipment: Dry bag, spray skirt, drinking water, rain jacket, change of clothes, bilge pump, paddle float, sunscreen and food or snacks.
