About The Event
Join the Sebasticook Regional Land Trust on a paddling trip around the Pleasant Lake Preserve in Stetson. Gifted to SRLT in 2010 by Kent Hewitt, “the Cape” of 3-mile long Pleasant Lake offers a well-maintained trail system, wonderful bird-watching opportunities, and exploration of diverse woodland and shoreline habitats. Co-led by Pittsfield resident and avid water recreationist Bill Cunningham and Cheryl Daigle, SRLT executive director.
We will leave the Stetson Boat Launch at 10 AM and stop for a short trail exploration and introduction to Pleasant Lake Preserve. We will continue paddling around the Cape to to explore Ells Brook, the large northern tributary, and the eastern part of the lake. The length of the paddle depends on group interest, but we anticipate a 3-hour excursion. There are no restrooms at the boat launch.
