Paddle with Historic Northampton & Paradise City Dragon Boat from the former New Haven-Northampton Canal to the Hatfield boundary. Take in the beauty of the Connecticut River in a dragon boat and learn about our rich natural and cultural history at the same time.

Betsy Powell, head coach of Paradise City Dragon Boat, will begin the outing with a paddling lesson. Once we’re a ways up river, Laurie Sanders, naturalist & co-director of Historic Northampton, will teach us about the environmental and human history of the stretch of river between Elwell Island and the Hatfield boundary.
