Harvest Moon Paddle

Usually, when we think of paddling down the Blue River we think of summertime and canoeing or kayaking in the sunshine, but this event is a unique chance to experience paddling by moonlight because it takes place during the first full moon of fall, the Harvest Moon.

What makes the Harvest Moon unique this year as well, is its the final supermoon of 2023 so it will make for an extra bright night sky.  Here is what Cave Country Canoes have to say about the Harvest Moon Paddle:

Join us on the Millpond for a paddle as the night sky sparkles under the last full Supermoon of the year!
