FULL HARVEST MOON. Joint  trip with Great Bay Paddlers.

September this is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.

Sunset Park is located under the Harvey Cedars water tower located on Salem avenue and the Bay. This is the first traffic light in Harvey Cedars. Please bring snacks to share after the paddle! Most likely our last Full Moon Paddle of the year... Harvey Cedars, NJ map
