alcoons Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 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?

Phil Allen Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 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. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Bryan Auday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
