John Harkey Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I was on Squam a week ago and highly recommend it. Small but complex- pick up the essential chart from SLA. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudenceb Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Yes. And Barb, I always just get up early and hit the road. It's a really nice paddle! Edited October 19, 2023 by prudenceb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah Walsh Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Barb, the foliage was beautiful last weekend. I can't recommend a particular place to stay, but there are many hotels, motels, and Air B&Bs in Meredith and surrounding towns. It's a great area to stay in.

gyork Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Previous commitment prevents me from joining y'all, but here's a rudimentary "chap" if you feel inclined to print. Not even close to Floating Trails quality, but the best I could do, and at least something to practice on-water nav with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Harkey Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I spent one night before paddling in Plymouth, at the Red Carpet Inn & Suites. It is cheap (+/- $100), not much to look at on the outside, but well appointed inside. Here was my 15- mile route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEL Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure prior commitments can be moved, but definitely looking to be nice day for wandering about the islands on Squam. Paddling there during foliage is a wondrous way to spend a day. Ed Lawson Edited October 23, 2023 by EEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Harkey Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I wish I could drop everything and join you. You all are going to have a wonderful time. Watch out for the playful dolphins — they love to get close and nuzzle! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
