Bethel Outdoor Adventure Campground & River Trips

10/16/2026

Thank you for a FANTASTIC 2026 Summer Season. We're so thankful for all our campers, both short stays and long. Our river trippers - we're so glad you had a safe and fun time on the water this season. And all our rock hounders, we're so happy with all the treasures you found this year.

Finally a massive thank you again to our staff this year who came from all over the country to work with us. Your hard work, laughter, positivity. enthusiasm, cheering, gardening skills, extra hours, willingness to jump in and warm heartedness. It will be very hard to fill your shoes and we're DEFINITELY looking forward to having you back in 2028!

For now, we'll say... until next summer!

Today is Indigenous People's Day! Mahoosuc Land Trust acknowledges that we live and work on the unceded lands of the Ammoscongon and Pequawket bands of the Abenaki people. We are dedicated to the stewardship of people, plants, animals and water with kindness, generosity, and recognition of the Abenaki.

We acknowledge the Abenaki as the original inhabitants and stewards of this place, honor their continuing relationship with these lands, and are grateful and hopeful for their role as past, present, and future caretakers of this land and this region.

This Indigenous People's Day, we encourage you to read MLT's full land acknowledgement (by visiting our website), take time to learn about Wabanaki history, and support the Wabanaki-led organizations that are doing important work in land stewardship and caretaking across our region.

Here are just a few organizations you can support:
Wabanaki Alliance
Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness
Wabanaki REACH
Bomazeen Land Trust
Wabanaki Commission on Land & Stewardship
