ESSEX STEAM TRAIN AND RIVERBOAT

jOIN US ON A 2 1/2 HOUR steam train and riverboat beginning at the
historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into
the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam
locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New
England towns of Deep River and Chester. A natural highlight is the
undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by
boat. Essex Steam Train offers unique access to several coves and
preserves, immersing passengers in an on-board eco-excursion.
The train travels near the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester
Creek — bountiful, natural habitats for birds including Cormorants, Ducks, Swans, Greenland
Geese, Blue Heron, Egrets, and Red-winged Blackbirds
At Deep River Landing, passengers are escorted onto the Becky Thatcher riverboat for a
11/4– hour cruise along the Connecticut River. The visual serenity of the river valley is on full
display from Becky‘s multiple decks. The deep water, coves, inlets, marshes, wildlife, and
rocky shoreline are, all at once, simply breathtaking!
This is a great time of year to see the Fall Foilage in the area!
