Guided by 7 Lakes Alliance staff Josie Miller, we will paddle from the Salmon Lake Boat Launch and stick to the shore, looking at aquatic plants and other wildlife. This paddle will be approximately two hours and will stay along the shoreline. We will have the opportunity to get off at The Narrows Preserve to have a snack and grab a drink of water before heading back to the boat launch.

Meeting location
Park at the Salmon Lake Boat Launch located off Spaulding Point Road in Belgrade. These coordinates can be put directly into your GPS to bring you to the launch: 44°31’16.0″N 69°47’37.3″W.
