HealthCurrents Fall 2019

On the Cover

Health Currents Summer 2019

On the Cover

This summer, miles of water trails await you and your canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. The trails, sometimes called "blueways," are the aquatic equivalent of a hiking trail. Water trails often feature well-developed launch points, and are near significant historical, environmental, or cultural points of interest.
