Cranberry Bog Paddle Fest
Our first Cranberry Bog Paddle Fest was held on Sunday, October 12, 2014. Participants navigated from the North Bank to Cranberry Bog in their Canoes or Kayaks. The Society hopes to make this colorful fest an annual fall event. Help us get the word out to the many boaters interested in paddle fest events. It is a growing and very popular sport.
