This Nighttime River Float Accompanied By Glow Sticks Belongs On Your Connecticut Bucket List

When you live in a small state, it's easy to feel like you've seen it all and done it all. After all, you can drive across the Nutmeg State in just a few hours, so many people that haven't spent much time here might believe there aren't too many unique things to do in Connecticut. Of course, those of us that love the state know nothing could be further from the truth, and if you find yourself hunting for something fun and unusual to do now that the weather's warming up, we've got a great summer adventure for you! We're blessed to have quite a few spots to enjoy water activities all over the state, and heading out on a kayak is a popular summer activity for many Nutmeggers. But have you ever considered heading out on an evening paddle? That's just what you can enjoy this summer with Collinsville Canoe and Kayak in Canton, CT. Let's check out this nighttime river float in Connecticut:

Collinsville Canoe & Kayak is a beloved spot that's one of the best places to rent or buy canoes, kayaks, or paddle boards in all of New England.

The shop also offers up canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding lessons for adults and teens.

But if you are experienced on the water and are looking for something that's a bit more of a thrill, you'll want to check out the 2024 Evening Paddles that the shop is offering.

On select dates throughout summer 2024, Collinsville Canoe & Kayak will be offering up extended rental hours that mean you get to spend more time on the water even if you don't own your own craft.

Life jackets, bottled water, snacks, and glow sticks are all provided, but note that there is no lifeguard on duty and all paddlers must know how to swim.

This year's evening paddles will be offered June 21, July 20, and August 17.

If you head out on one of these paddles with Collinsville Canoe and Kayak, you'll receive a life jacket, paddles, and everything you need, but if you're heading out on your own and need some extra supplies, make sure to check out the great gear available at REI.
