EMHR’s Fall Heritage Benefit Paddle

October 3, 2026

Endless Mountains Heritage Region’s annual Fall Heritage Benefit Paddle returns on
Saturday, Oct. 3, beginning in New York this year. View spectacular fall foliage of the
Sothern Tier of New York and NEPA during this 11-mile adventure that will begin in Nichols,
NY! Participants are asked to meet at Sayre Riverfront Park (100 Riverfront Park Rd, Sayre
Pa 18840) by 8 a.m. for registration check-in and to sign waivers. Following the welcome
and safety briefing, they will be shuttled to the Nichols launch in New York and get on the
river to paddle back to Sayre by mid-afternoon. After the paddle, participants will caravan
over to Bluestone Brewery (18 Pitney St, South Waverly, PA 18840) for dinner and
entertainment, which is included in your registration fee.

This event will benefit the Sayre Historical Society, formed in 1989, to preserve the rich
history of Sayre and the surrounding area.

Participants are encouraged to bring appropriate clothing and footwear for that day’s
weather, sunscreen, a sufficient supply of water, any snacks desired, and a dry bag to keep
their supplies in.

Registration costs are $60 for those bringing their own kayak. The registration fee for this
event includes a donation to the Sayre Historical Society, insurance, dinner from Bluestone
Brewing, and educational programming. Those needing to rent a watercraft have the option
of a single-day kayak rental for $50 or $70 for those renting a tandem kayak or canoe.
Register by Monday, September 28.
