The Northern Forest Canoe Trail- Presentation

Looking for a great paddling adventure? The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) traverses the roof of the Adirondacks and the Northern Forest following traditional Native American travel routes across 740-miles of inland water from New York through Vermont, Québec, New Hampshire, and Maine. On Thursday, May 6th, the Maine Chapter of the AMC presents Kate Williams, NFCT Executive Director, for a virtual journey along this diverse and enchanting route. She will give an overview of the water trail, show slides of special places along the trail, and share her favorite ideas for day-tripping, for week-long adventures, and for through-paddling the entire route. Special guests that evening will be Mainers Donnie Mullen and Gil Whitney. In 2000, Donnie was the first to through paddle the route in a canoe; in 2009, Gil was the first to do so in a kayak. Together, they will tell interesting stories, share useful perspectives, and provide ample time for your questions. NFCT maps and the newly released (March 2010) NFCT Official Guidebook will be available for sale and signature.

This program will be in the Morrell Room of the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, in Brunswick, Maine. A potluck dinner begins at 6 pm followed by Kate’s presentation at 7 pm. Bring a potluck item and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be provided. This talk is free and open to the public. Details on our website or for more information please email us.
