Just drove by Magazine Beach on the Charles River in Cambridge. Looks like major construction. While I was not going in the right direction to confirm this, it appears that you cannot even enter the area more less launch there. Anyone know what is going on?

I'm guessing, but it's probably related to the construction on the BU Bridge. They've been shutting down lanes left and right there. If I get a chance this week I'll wander over from work.

I tried to use Magazine Beach this weekend and the road into the park was blocked off with a construction site fence. Later, I learned that the park will eventually return, allowing access to the Charles. Until the construction is completed you can find parking 400 yards west, up-river, near the boat house. It worked out well for me--I found access to the water a couple hundred feet from the parking area.

Thanks so much for the update. Can you tell us anything more about the parking? Was it in the small semi-circular driveway? That is usually pretty crowded on weekends. Was the put-in more-or-less on the river directly in-line with the parking?
