Deerfield River Paddle
This beautiful five-mile kayak tour on the lower Deerfield is the perfect way to pass a spring or summer afternoon. Just 20 minutes from our base in Sunderland brings us to a remote wilderness like area just north of Conway. Woodland forests line the banks of the Deerfield River and there are a few sections of fast-moving Class I rapids to add some excitement to our paddle. Along the way we’ll stop for a picnic lunch on the shores and hopefully spot some Bald Eagles and other birds soaring above the river. Leaving the woodlands, we arrive to the pastures of Deerfield, and we take out in the heart of Deerfield’s rich farm country.
