Ghouls on the Gorge 🎃

Ghouls on the Gorge 🎃 The Last Paddle of the Season

The leaves are turning, the mist is rolling in over the water, and something stirs on the Gorge...
Before the long winter nights settle over the island, we're gathering one last time to paddle together. Dig out your wildest costume, grab your board or kayak, and join us for a spooky, joyful farewell to the season.
We'll glide from Kosapsum Park down the Gorge in a flotilla of witches, ghosts, pirates and whatever else emerges from the depths. Expect laughter echoing off the water, a costume contest worthy of legend, and hot cider waiting on the shore to warm cold hands.
Whether you've paddled with us all summer or you're dipping a blade for the very first time, come as you are (or as someone else entirely). This one is about community, and about carrying a little of that summer light into the dark months ahead.
📅 Saturday, October 31
🕐 Gather at 2:10 pm · Launch at 2:30 pm
📍 Kosapsum Park, upper Gorge
⏱️ About 2 hours, relaxed pace

Costume wisdom from beyond: Keep your eyes clear, leave the long capes at home, and skip anything that gets heavy when wet. The water is cold this time of year, so wear warm layers underneath (no cotton) and bring dry clothes for after.
The weather oracle will speak by Friday evening, and we'll post the final call here.
Bring a friend, bring your spirit, and let's send the season off together. 👻🧡
See you on the water... if you dare.
