Fourth Annual Berkshire Corporate Park Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race

Fourth Annual Berkshire Corporate Park Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race

On Sunday September 26, 2010 Berkshire Corporate Park, Brookfield Park and Recreation, The Housatonic Valley River Trail, The Connecticut Water Trails Association, The Housatonic Valley Paddle Club, and The Still River Alliance will be sponsoring the Fourth Annual Berkshire Corporate Park Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race to Benefit the Still River. This is the largest flatwater race in Western Connecticut.

This race was established to help raise monies to continue the environmental stewardship work being done and to help to pay for maintaining the Still River after all funding at the local, state, and federal level were eliminated.
