Source to Sea: The Charles River Navigation Project

In August of 2020 while the whole world was seemingly shuttered indoors, Cameron Salvatore, a local freelance director and all around adventure-seeker, had an idea to traverse the entire Charles River by kayak as fast as he possibly could.
Beginning in beautiful Echo Lake, Cameron paddled, portaged, and pushed his way through every leg of the 80 mile journey to Boston Harbor, solidifying the first and fastest recorded unsupported source-to-sea navigation of the Charles.
Join us on Thursday, June 3 at 7:00 pm as Cameron shares his journey with us, a story of human endurance, of creeping urbanization around a storied Bay State waterway, of environmental threats and drought, and of parts of our beloved Charles that few have ever seen.
