Sojourn 07 (Credit Canoe Susquehanna)

The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay 2009 River Sojourns are multi-day expeditions down the Patuxent, James and the Susquehanna Rivers. Thank you for paddling with us down the beautiful rivers of the Chesapeake watershed!

Celebrate June Rivers month with us on two 2009 Susquehanna Sojourns. The River is long. The River is diverse. And it is calling you. The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay has partnered with the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership to bring two exciting watershed educational experiences this June.

You choose whether you want to celebrate the Susquehanna River with long paddle days on the North Branch Sojourn, stopping to join the Wyoming Valley River Fest or paddle shorter days exploring natural wonders, Native American Petroglyphs, Tuquan Glen Nature preserve and small river towns on the Lower Susquehanna River.

Whether you choose one, or both--either way--these experiences will inspire you to protect this very special river and her lands.

Additional trip information will be posted at Susquehanna Greenway website. Registration will open in mid May.

Additional trip information will be posted at the Lower Susquehanna River Sojourn . On-line Registration is now available at this link.

James River Sojourn - July 10 to 14

The James River Sojourn will kick off Friday, July 10 at James River State Park. We will spend the following four days paddling the river and learning about the different cultures surrounding the river. The trip will end at Bremo Bluff. On-line Registration is now available at the above link.

The ninth annual Patuxent River Sojourn explores a section of the upper river, beginning at the Patuxent River 4H Center (Upper Marlboro, MD) with the end destination of Perry Tract (White's Landing Rd). This year, the Patuxent Riverkeeper is taking the lead in planning this sojourn. Please go to the Patuxent Riverkeeper website for more details.

The Patuxent River Teen Paddle is a five-day(with 3 nights camping) canoeing and kayaking expedition geared towards high-school students. This trip features educational programming, riverside camping, festive meals, and much more. Novice and experienced paddlers alike enjoy a unique, on-the-water experience that builds a strong stewardship ethic for the river and its natural resources. We are capping registration at 15 participants to maintain a hands-on learning environment. For more information contact Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary at 410-741-9330.
