July 20: Northwest Bay Paddle with Ornithologist Alan Belford

Join us for an evening paddle through Northwest Bay to learn about LGLC's current Indian Brook conservation initiative! This trip will be led by Licensed Guide and Ornithologist Alan Belford.

Learn more about the natural history and ecology of the area, as well as the work that LGLC is doing to help conserve the lands around the lake to help keep it clean -- all while enjoying a beautiful evening out on the water as the sun sets! This easy paddle will lead you through Northwest Bay Brook and marsh as it opens into Lake George's Northwest Bay. The marsh is home to lots of native plants and wildlife, and Alan will be able to provide lots of information on any critter you might see!
