Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Can anyone remember how many hours it is after low tide that you can paddle through Fox Creek?Hal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 From Evans, _Sea Kayaking Coastal Massachusetts_, p. 75.> Use tide tables for Portland. High tide at Plum Island Sound is 12 minutes later, low tide is 37 minutes later. Mean tidal range is around 8 feet. Avoid paddling at low tide due to extensive mud flats. Fox creek is passable two hours on either side of high tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 The two hour either side rule has worked for me, but don't linger after that.From Pavilion Beach, go up the Ipswich River, hang a left around the beach and follow your nose staying more or less to the left until you are following the serpintine channel through the marsh. The crux move is when a long, straight channel branches off the right at a right angle. Take it out under the bridge and into Essex Bay. Enjoy.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
