Somerset Woods Trustees host Kennebec River Paddle Sept. 21

SOLON — Somerset Woods Trustees will sponsor a free guded paddle tour of the Kennebec River islands on Saturday, Sept. 21. An optional breakfast is available for a fee before the paddle at 8 a.m. at Evergreens, 202 Ferry St. The paddle will launch from Evergreens and go downriver. Those participating will learn about the natural forces that created the river, the many economic benefits the river provided early
settlers and industries, and the artifacts left behind by the Abanaki tribes.
The tour will land at the North Anson boat launch just north of Savage island. If needed, shuttles will return participants to Evergreens to pick up their vehicles.
The tour will be finished by around noon, and those participating should bring water and clothes for possible cooler conditions on the water.
