We publish Ferry Tales, a periodic newsletter (now also available in PDF format here) with dam release schedules, trip schedules, boating articles and other AMC-Berkshire paddling information. If you're an AMC-Berkshire member and would like to receive this, tell our Canoe & Kayak Chair (see below) that you want to be added to the paddlers list. Or get in touch with them if this website doesn't answer all your questions and you want more paddling information.
