Windsor Covered Bridge Kayak Connecticut River

What to Expect

This full‑day guided paddle follows one of the most scenic and historic stretches of the upper Connecticut River. Launching below Sumner Falls, we travel downstream through wide bends, pastoral landscapes, and calm moving water toward Cornish Landing. Midway through the day, we stop at the Path of Life Garden and Labyrinth for a relaxed lunch break before continuing on to our takeout beneath the iconic Windsor Covered Bridge. A round‑trip shuttle from Sunderland makes logistics simple and allows you to focus fully on the river experience.
