Come join us for a morning of easy Kayaking thru the beautiful Retreat Meadows in the West River in Vermont! This is a very easy , relaxed ride in calm waters. Marshlands , views of the surrounding hillsides , lots of wildlife.... The ride lasts about 2 hours or so.
All followed by kayaking up to the docks at the Marina and enjoying a delicious lunch at the Marina Restaurant! Outdoor seating right on the river.
Take I-91 from points North or South of Brattleboro and get off Exit 3. Or take Route 9 ( also rte 101 ) from NH into Vt. From the roundabout follow Putney Road South towards Brattleboro ctr. Just b4 u cross the river , you will c Vermont Canoe Touring Ceneter on your left. (802-257-5008) If u need to rent a kayak , stop there. Ask them how to paddle to the put-in spot. They will know if u show them the directions following.
If u dont need to rent , keep going South on Putney Road until you're forced to take a right. Then take ur next right. This is VT Rte 30 or Linden Street. You will pass the Brattleboro Retreat and then watch for the turnout for parking for river access. ( about a 1/4 mile past the retreat. ) There is a farm/gift shop on the left directly across from the river parking area.
