shuttlesShuttles with Rental
Rent a boat and a shuttle! We will drop you off upriver in Tyngsboro, then you will float and paddle your way back down from Tyngsboro on this quiet stretch of the Merrimack. We offer shuttles every Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m. This trip typically takes 2-3 hours or so, but you can stretch it out by paddling upstream first if you wish!
