SUMMARY:2026 Winter Wildlife Eagle Cruises on RiverQuest
DESCRIPTION:Experience the beauty and solitude of the lower Connecticut River during this wonderful time of year! It is so different than at any other time. There are no other vessels on the water\, and with no leaves on the trees\, wildlife viewing is easy and fun. \nCruises will be Friday through Sunday\, with two additional Wednesdays in March. Departures are between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. \nAs the river\, lakes and ponds to our north freeze\, eagles and others make their way to the lower CT River for their favorite food – FISH. Join us on this approximately 2 hour “on-the-water” cruise to search for eagles and other winter wildlife. In the past we have spotted up to a record 46 eagles\, 3 types of grebes\, foxes\, 3 types of swans\, 3 types of mergansers\, many different gulls\, loons\, golden eagle\, coyote\, deer\, many hawk species\, 3 types of seals\, and even a bobcat. We will have naturalists on board to narrate and make sure you don’t miss a thing. \nRiverQuest has a heated cabin\, but we suggest that you dress in warm layers since the best views will be from the open decks. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars … No binoculars? No worries\, we have plenty on board for you to borrow. We will also provide complimentary coffee and tea. \nThe Museum has teamed up again with the Griswold Inn\, which is offering a special package for Winter Wildlife Dates. See the info here: https://griswoldinn.com/winter-adventure-package/ \nAges 10+ only. \nAll Passengers – $50
