A piece of a three-part paddle series led by each of your local Washington County land trusts. Join Woodie Wheaton Land Trust to paddle Spednic Lake on July 16, Downeast Coastal Conservancy for a paddle and hike at Vining Lake Community Preserve on August 22, and Downeast Lakes Land Trust at 4th lake. See the flyer for more information on each paddle.

On August 22, beginning at 10 AM, paddle the remote and scenic Vining Lake in Cooper, part of 406 acres of land conserved by DCC and home to iconic Maine wildlife like moose and brook trout. After a lap around the lake, we will take a hike to a marsh overlook at a granite outcrop, then return to enjoy hot dogs and other food roasted over the fire at the Vining Lake campsite.

DCC cannot offer any canoes, kayaks, or paddling gear; this is a bring-your-own-boat event. We appreciate your understanding.

This event is subject to cancellation due to weather. Vining Lake is a small body of flat water, and we will not encounter rapids.
