place and condition. Moreover, you will be surrounded by great natural beauty.

River is like a mirror. The reflections are only broken by the ripples created when
an oar is dipped into the water.

Rivers flows from the lakes of its origin in the north at the Canadian border it
enters what is known as the Upper Valley. This part of the river is a great natural
setting for sculling. In the Upper Valley the Connecticut River winds through the

and Dartmouth has an excellent sculling tradition. This is a beautiful stretch of
the Connecticut River and the river is wide and its shores are tree-lined.
