TWILIGHT TOUR - Beacon 2 hours $75 per person.
Cold Spring options
An opportunity to get on the water and experience the area's allure in a different light. You'll start your paddle in the late day glow or sunset and the glimmer of the moon or an array of stars will illuminate your return from a calm and peaceful paddle. This is a short duration tour with the destination less of a concern. The aim of a collectively enjoyed experience and the tides will determine the float plan. Another chance to round-out a land and water day-plan or slip away from an otherwise full schedule. Encouraged for paddlers of all skill levels.
