The adventure begins at Hirundo’s canoe launch in Old Town. With over 2,400 acres of pristine natural wilderness, seven miles of walking trails, and educational activities for all ages, Hirundo Wildlife Refuge is a true gem. Whether on the water or in the woods, there’s much to enjoy, learn and witness as this refuge works to protect the land, bird populations and other wildlife.
Adventures will ready themselves for paddling on the stream with some movement. Then we will inflate our packrafts, embark, and head downstream. But what is a packraft? Packrafts are small lightweight inflatable boats paddled with a kayak paddle. No experience, no worries, you’ll get guided instruction the whole way through. They easily pack up to fit inside a backpack. Yes, we will get a chance to utilize that super cool feature.
