Register now and you receive a reminder 24 hours before this event: For the 7th and last monthly paddle of 2026 BYOBoat second-Saturday suburban wilderness tours, we slice through Tewksbury suburban jungle. Downstream only (car shuttle). Through a few culverts, and past an old mill. Should water levels bottom out due to lack of rain, there will be a plan B.
Disclaimer: Participation in this paddle is an agreement to bear the risk of any personal injury or loss of personal belongings which occur during or on account of participation in the above outing, both for the participant and for any accompanying minor children. Participants follow all instructions by the guide, and will reimburse for expenses incurred on their behalf. Marlies Henderson, SRWA, or any volunteers cannot be held liable for any misfortune.
