River of Light: Full Moon Paddle

If you find yourself near the Winooski River in Colchester, don’t be surprised to hear the sounds of humans howling at the moon. Aquatic adventurers adorn their boats with creative lighting schemes before launching from the Heineberg Bridge Access for River of Light: Full Moon Paddle, organized by Friends of the Winooski River. Starting at sunset, participants journey the 2.5 miles to Lake Champlain, arriving to see Earth’s satellite in all its glory. No boat? No problem. This year, PaddleSurf Champlain offers paddleboard and kayak rentals. Check out a 2016 episode of “Stuck in Vermont” for a preview of this lunar-lit excursion.
