Hike, Paddle, and Dine

Discover the perfect blend of adventure and coastal relaxation with our Hike, Paddle, & Dine Experience. Nestled on the calm waters of Smith Cove, this unique package invites you to explore the natural beauty of the Niantic River and shoreline, both on foot and on the water before unwinding with a delicious waterfront meal.

Start your afternoon with a guided paddle down the Niantic River to a secret landing point where you’ll enter the beautiful Oswegatchie Hills for a brisk hike. There, you’ll learn about wildlife, and the history and ecology of the Hills and Niantic River shoreline.

Next, Paddle back up the river and through the protected waters of Smith Cove and hidden inlets before returning to the marina’s Three Belles Cafe as the sun sets and your lunch awaits.
