Glowstick Paddle
Thursday, July 9, 2026 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Cleaver Boat Launch, Skowhegan
Close out the first night of Skowhegan Log Days with our annual after-dark paddle, lighting up the Kennebec with glowsticks as the sun goes down.
Program Type: Guided Group Paddle
Cost: Free
Includes:
- Glowsticks to light up your boat
- Canoe, kayak, or SUP, paddle, and PFD if you need one (first come, first serve)
- Skowhegan Outdoors guides leading and sweeping the group
- A flatwater route suitable for all experience levels
What to Expect
As dusk settles over the river, paddlers gather at the Cleaver Boat Launch, deck out their boats with glowsticks, and set off together on a calm, guided evening paddle up Wesserunsett Stream. Bring your own canoe, kayak, or paddleboard, or reserve one from us in advance. A magical way to experience the river at night and a Log Days tradition for all ages.
What to Bring (Additional)
- Your own boat, paddle, and PFD (or reserve gear in advance)
