WEST HARBOR POND

Moonlight Paddles - a great way to enjoy the Pond!

​

The next Moonlight Paddle will be scheduled for April 12th 2025

​​

-> Get together for the rising of the Moon over the Pond <-

​

These lovely evenings on the water are a tranquil experience that only West Harbor Pond can offer. Friends and neighbors meet in the center of the pond, near the water-station buoy at about the predicted moonrise time from the table below.  They may choose to take a leisurely paddle down to the dam; then head back to the best viewing spot – near the islands – to watch the moon come up over the hill roughly 1/2 hour after the actual moonrise time.  ​The more boats the merrier – invite neighbors, friends and family. Bug spray and a flashlight are recommended!
