The route begins in Long Dock in Beacon, and will go past historic Bannerman Castle to Dockside Park in Cold Spring for the post-paddle party.
Participants will pick up playing cards from volunteers at designated points along the way, hoping to produce the best poker hand and win a prize. After the paddle, celebrate a fun and rewarding day on the water at the annual post-paddle picnic lunch with beer, wine and a raffle for prizes.
The entry fee is $65 and includes an event t-shirt, ACA insurance for the event, train shuttle ticket, picnic lunch, a raffle ticket and event giveaways. A guaranteed minimum donation of $30 per entry and all raffle proceeds go to Support Connection. Bring your own craft, or the Hudson River Watertrail Association can assist participants with arrangements to rent a boat from Hudson River Expeditions.
Kayaks, canoes, SUPs, rowboats, beginners, seasoned boaters and teams of friends and co-workers are encouraged to join the paddle.
Proceeds from the paddle and raffle will benefit the Support Connection of Yorktown, a not-for-profit organization established in 1996 that offers free, confidential support services to people affected by breast and ovarian cancer.
