Bring your own boat and join us for a paddle across Twitchell Lake to the former site of Anne LaBastille’s historic cabin, once a place of solitude, writing, and deep connection to the Adirondack landscape.

Fifty years after the first publication of LaBastille’s book Woodswoman, this guided paddle offers participants the opportunity to experience Twitchell Lake as she did, followed by a walk through the cabin site and discussion of her life, work, and environmental legacy.

The round-trip paddle covers approximately 3 miles and takes about 2 hours, including time on shore. Participants should be prepared for variable lake conditions, including wind, and for uneven terrain at the cabin site.

A brown bag lunch will be provided and can be enjoyed lakeside during the visit.

Two guided paddle sessions are available: 10:00 AM–12:00 PM and 1:00 PM–3:00 PM.
