Weekly Lake Event - Rolling, Rescues, … and Socializing!
All WW, Sea, Canoe, and Flatwater paddlers welcome.- You MUST register online at activities.outdoors.org for each week!
- Direct link to the August 20th event where you sign the AMC waiver.
What do YOU want to practice on the water today? Popular choices include conversation, rolling, solo and assisted rescues, strokes, mentoring, unwinding/resting, “Stupid Kayak Tricks,” and telling bad jokes.
This is NOT a CLASS. This is practice, play, and socializing. This is the informal exchange of feedback, pointers, and support between paddlers. This is FUN!
We are hosting this event for 11 Wednesday sessions through the summer (June 18-Aug 27). You MUST register online to sign the AMC waiver at activities.outdoors.org for each week. However, you can show up late. You can leave early. The event officially ends when the last listed Trip Leader departs.
Bill has rolled using euro paddles, Greenland paddles, a canoe paddle, a norsaq, hand paddles, swim gloves, a paddle float, a neoprene avataq, and done the venerable hand roll. Collectively we have rescued paddlers in flat water, white water, and breaking ocean surf. We are attending because we want to improve our own skills, and to share knowledge with other paddlers. We hope you will come ready to improve your skills, and to share your knowledge as well.
We will normally meet at either Silver Lake in Hollis, NH, or Potanipo Lake in Brookline, NH (they are about ten minutes apart by car), both just west of Nashua, NH, and just north of the Massachusetts border.

- Labor Day Paddlers' GatheringClear Stream Campground, Errol, NH
Click here for more information
Come join us on Labor Day Weekend 2025 in Errol, NH for a variety of paddling adventures and opportunities to learn new skills. These four fun-filled days on the water and three nights around the campfire will help you build strong connections with the AMC NH paddling community. Starting Friday, August 29 through Monday, September 1, we have a large group campsite reserved at Clear Stream Campground in Errol, NH (https://clearstreamcampground.com) with overflow campsites if needed. A $60/pp fee covers 3 nights of camping (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and is required for all registered participants. AMC Paddlers paid in advance to reserve the campsites, so please be aware that all payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. You may opt to camp fewer than 3 nights for the same full cost of $60/pp. Extra nights require independent arrangements made directly with the campground.More information to come, but definitely do not miss the famous POTLUCK DINNER EXTRAVAGANZA to be held Saturday Night.
Activities will take place on nearby bodies of water including the Magalloway River, Androscoggin River, Pontook Reservoir, and Umbagog Lake. AMC leadership is planning a variety of on-the-water excursions and learning activities for kayak and canoe paddlers. Stand-Up Paddle Boards are welcome, too!
Check our website for posted trips - we will be adding more soon.
