Embark on a Winter Adventure with The Griswold Inn’s exclusive Eagles Encounter Package
The Griswold Inn in Essex, CT invites guests to embrace the beauty of winter in New England with their unique Winter Adventure Package. The historic 1776 inn has partnered with the nearby Connecticut River Museum to create the ultimate bird-watching experience and overnight stay combination, available exclusively on Thursday through Sunday stayovers from February 9th through March 13th, 2024.
Witness the majesty of the eagles who migrate from Northern climates, to fish the unfrozen and often tranquil waters of the lower Connecticut River and its creeks and coves. The overnight package includes a unique and immersive experience aboard RiverQuest, a Coast Guard approved vessel with a heated cabin, where you’ll get an up-close view of the magnificent Bald Eagle and other winter wildlife. Accompanied by a knowledgeable naturalist, the Winter Wildlife Eagle Cruises offer a two-hour excursion departing just steps away from the inn at the docks of the Connecticut River Museum. Binoculars are provided, and complimentary coffee is included to enhance your experience.
The Winter Adventure Package presents a wonderful opportunity to combine the comfort and charm of The Griswold Inn with a winter “adventure” along the majestic Connecticut River. For more details and reservation information, click here.
