Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay
Spend the day exploring the winding tidal rivers, quiet bays, and scenic marshes of Cape Cod with an experienced naturalist and paddler.
Begin in Meetinghouse Pond and paddle through the salt marshes of The River to Upper Pleasant Bay. Osprey, belted kingfishers, herons, egrets, and grey seals are just some of the species we may observe on this scenic paddle.
Throughout the trip, we will focus our attention on the resident populations of diamondback terrapins and horseshoe crabs. We will look closely at the work Mass Audubon is doing to help these important species and hopefully tag some horseshoe crabs along the way!
Currents and winds are a factor to consider in this system and sustained periods of paddling is required of participants. Recent, previous paddling experience is required.
