Ideal Weather Brings Out
Small Fleet of Paddlers
About 60 participants in canoes and kayaks of all shapes and colors enjoyed a Saturday afternoon paddle, under the Arrigoni Bridge for a stop on Wilcox Island, then up the Mattabesset into the "Floating Meadows," near the proposed site of Middletown’s kayak launch.
Most of the paddlers continued up the Coginchaug River against unusually strong current. The water level was high for this time of year due to recent rainfall.
Watch for news of another Jonah Center paddle later in the season when the wild rice of the meadows is especially glorious.
