ERROL, N.H. — Each year the Androscoggin River Watershed Council hosts the Source to Sea by paddling down the Androscoggin River from Lake Umbagog in New Hampshire to Merrymeeting Bay in Brunswick.
Beginning Friday, July 6, the annual Source to Sea paddle down the Androscoggin River will commence from Umbagog Wildlife Refuge on Route 16 north of Errol.
The public is invited by the council to join the educational trip down the river for one or more days.
Guest speaker for the kick-off paddle will be Christian Kishida, loon biologist at the wildlife refuge. He will guide paddlers down Magalloway River to the source of the Androscoggin River, through loon nesting areas and answer questions about the river and its home to loons, eagles and osprey, among other wildlife.
The daily schedule and pre-registration is available on the website, www.androscogginwatershed.org. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged for logistical and safety reasons.
Although there is no fee to participate, a cash donation is suggested at time of registering. Donations of any amount will also be accepted at the launch site on each event day. All donations support the administrative costs to coordinate the Source to Sea and other ARWC projects all tax deductible. We hope to see you on the river this summer.
