EXETER RIVER FALL PADDLE

The “Fall Paddle” returns for a third year.  The Exeter River is a town treasure running through the middle of Brentwood.  A pristine river with an abundance of wildlife, much of the land along the river has been conserved, resulting in very little development along its shores and a very natural experience.  Whether you are a frequent paddler on the river, or have never been out on it, we hope you will consider joining in.
