The Missisquoi Paddle-Pedal takes place the third Saturday in June each year. The event combines 6.5 miles of paddling down the Missisquoi River and 5 miles of cycling on the adjacent Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail. Food, music and an awards ceremony finish the day at Davis Park in Richford, Vermont. Note: This year’s Paddle-Pedal has been cancelled due to COVID-19; we will see you next year!
