MIDDLETOWN: ONE LAST PADDLE FOR 2014
Chris’s River Plaza Marina is the setting for a final seasonal session of canoeing on the Swimming River, this Sunday afternoon.
If there’s something especially bittersweet about a last chance to get the oars in the water, before the boats are hauled out for a too-long winter’s nap, then the glass-half-full types among us would do well to focus on the “sweet” this Sunday, October 12, as the Navesink Maritime Heritage Association offers up one more public-invited session of canoeing on the Swimming River.
Scheduled for the hours between 11 am and 3 pm, the all-ages excursions depart from Chris’ River Plaza Marina at 483 West Front Street, just west of the bridge from Red Bank. And, with most forecasts looking at paddle-friendly weather for Sunday, there’s little excuse not to join the River Rangers in those colorful canoes, for a leisurely paced, priceless perspective on the greater Green’s bucolic backyard.
