Join your friends and neighbors in an early morning cheer to the Mystic River and watershed – a resource that has brought so much enjoyment to our community.  Meet friends of the Mystic and the Mystic River Watershed Association at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8 at the parking lot beside the new dam between the Upper and Lower Mystic Lakes. 

Come by bike, boat, on foot or drive. Bring strollers and your dog - whatever usually brings you to the shores of this urban beauty. We have a full family-friendly schedule that will stretch from the dam to Alewife Brook as we plan to have artists and music along the banks for your morning enjoyment.

Rent a boat!
Boats will be available at 9 a.m. at a discounted rental fee: $15 for single kayaks and $25 for canoes and double kayaks. Reserve your boat here! Of course, you can also bring your own boat to join in the fun. Join others in a trip down to the Alewife Brook starting at 9:30 a.m.

This event is part of the Mystic River Watershed Association's 40th Anniversary! Read more about Meet Me at the Mystic and other special 40th Anniversary events here.
