The Friends of Dragon Run summer paddle season begins on July 19, less than a week away. Seats are still available, but are filling up fast, a release noted.

Paddle trips will be held every day from July 19-30. Although the summer paddle season is short, the Dragon is spectacular in the summer, the release stated. The channels are lush with smartweed and arrow arum. Pickerel weed, swamp roses, cardinal flowers, and iris are some of the summer flowers. And, the Prothonotary Warblers haven’t left yet for their southern migration.

Paddle guests are provided with a kayak, personal flotation device, and paddle. A crew of volunteers assists guests through beaver dams and along the course of the journey. A nature guide accompanies the guests to point out flora and fauna and to answer questions.
