Missisquoi Paddle-Pedal and Richford River Festival
This year’s Paddle-Pedal has been cancelled due to COVID-19. We hope to see you next year!
The 2020 Missisquoi Paddle-Pedal is set for Saturday, June 20, in Richford, Vermont!
This family-friendly event combines 6.5 miles of paddling down a Wild and Scenic section of the Missisquoi River and 5 miles of cycling on the adjacent Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail.
The paddle-pedal is part of the Richford River Festival, which features live music, kids activities, workshops, and lunch.
Check back for more details, including start times and more.
