Oradell Reservoir Open For Paddling Saturday

Hackensack Riverkeeper and United Water are planning to hold the fifth annual Reservoir Challenge at the Oradell Reservoir in Haworth this weekend.

This year's schedule includes 5K and 10K boat races, two guided paddles, nature walks, and the annual Mayor's Cup, in which local mayors compete. There will also be a barbecue lunch, live music and activities for children. The full schedule is available on the Riverkeeper's website.

Money raised at the event will go to Hackensack Riverkeeper, a group which seeks to protect the Hackensack River's watershed. Last year's Reservoir Challenge raised more than $10,000.

Registration for the Reservoir Challenge costs $30, or free for spectators. Boats can also be rented for $25. The deadline to register is Wednesday. The form is available online here.
