Paddle North Grosvenordale Pond, a flat water 1.5 mile out and back trip. This pond was created when water of the French River was used to power mills of North Grosvenordale. Right off of Route 12 there is a short road to a nice parking lot near the canoe/kayak launch. We will paddle upstream (nearly no current) 1.5 miles to another of Thompson's mills. Depending on water flow we can paddle right up to a beautiful waterfall. We will turn around here and paddle back to where we started. Excellent variety of water to paddle. Chances to see many different wildlife species to include Herons and Bald eagles. Participants must provide their own canoes or kayaks and life vests must be worn during the event.
