Affinity Women's+ only, Flat Water Paddle on Littleville Lake

Ply peacefully over the waters that cover the lost villages of Dayville and Littleville. Join us for an Affinity Women's+ only, flat water paddle on Littleville Lake located on the middle branch of the Westfield River in Chester and Huntington Massachusetts. With a perimeter of 4.8 miles, this lake was created when the Littleville Dam was constructed for flood control of the Westfield and Connecticut Rivers. On this approximately 4 hour paddle along the edge, we will talk history, view wildlife and stop for lunch in the grassy meadow near the base of Littleville Dam.

This Women's+ paddle requires prior paddling experience and the ability to swim. You must bring your own boat (canoe, kayak, paddle board), paddle,and life jacket or contact leaders to borrow a club boat (limited availability).

Bring drinking water, a snack and lunch. Wear layered (non-cotton) clothing to keep you warm/cool and comfortable even if damp, and shoes that can get wet are required. Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses on a lanyard are recommended. It is a good idea to have a complete change of clothes, towel, and shoes in your car in case you are damp at the end of the trip. Lifejackets must be worn at all times while on the water and participants must stay in a group with AMC leaders. Swimming is prohibited at Littleville Lake, because it serves as a backup water supply for the city of Springfield, Massachusetts.ADVANCE REGISTRATION VIA AMC'S WEBSITE REQUIRED!!
