Kayak in History
STRATHAM – The rivers of the Great Bay Estuary were once teeming with industry and commerce and now are primarily used for recreation. Kayaking on these rivers can bring you close to nature and sometimes give you a glimpse of their history as well. On Wed., July 8, the Great Bay Discovery Center’s Bay Views program will have a presentation on kayaking the rivers of the Great Bay Estuary and the history of the rivers.
The presentation begins at 7:00 p.m., and will include photos, history, information about where to launch kayaks and some of the conditions kayakers might encounter. There will be a list of kayak launch sites around the Great Bay Estuary including a map, information about the Center’s kayak tours, and some historical artifacts. Passports to Great Bay will be available as well as a book display of books pertaining to the area. Kayaking in and around the Great Bay Estuary is a great way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and to appreciate the diversity found in the estuary.
The program will be held in the Hugh Gregg Coastal Conservation Center, located on the grounds of the Discovery Center. No registration is required for this free program and light refreshments will be served. For more information, call the Center at 603-778-0015. The Center is located on 89 Depot Road on the Greenland/Stratham town line, just off Route 33.
