6500.200 FLOWERING FOREST KAYAKE TOUR
Join Wanderlust Ecotours on a guided kayaking tour of
the Mattabesset River in Cromwell. This stretch of the Mattabesset
is a favorite among birders and naturalists. From your kayak,
watch for great blue herons stalking prey on the riverbanks,
belted kingfishers perched in the trees, or catch a glimpse of beavers
swimming or painted turtles sunning themselves on logs. We’ll
explore the river’s quiet beauty and learn about the dynamic natural
systems that make this section of the Mattabesset a key link in
Connecticut’s network of conserved waterways. This tributary of
the Connecticut River winds through a protected landscape in Cromwell,
offering paddlers a peaceful and scenic route with minimal current—perfect
for observation and reflection. Great beginner tour!
