Program Description

Event Details

Join Croton resident Bobby Nolan for a presentation on his six-week, 740-mile wilderness adventure on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail!

The NFCT is the longest inland water passage in the United States and follows much of the old trading routes of the indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands through New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine.

His presentation will cover some of the rich history of the areas he traveled through, the people he met, and the many challenges he faced along the way — including big lakes, fast rapids, upstream river travel, snow, freezing rain and a close encounter with an angry moose!

Free and open to all. No reservations required.
