I've only seen the North River from rt 3 (near plymouth) and I realy want to paddle it. How much of the river can be covered in a day? Is it possible to go from the Hanover launch to the Union st launch and back in a day? I have never delt with tides, so it is a new concept to me. If I time it right, it appears that it can be downstream both ways?? How does one time it correctly? The best info I can find from google is http://www.wtpaddlers.org/spots-nriver.html Any other good soures of info? Anyone interested in paddling the North River this sunday, the 22nd??? I want to try it then and would love to have someone who knows the river with me. Thanks, Scott sashurlow@hotmail.com

how easy is it to portage around the dams? I would be nice to do an point to point route, starting at one corner of boston and finnishing in the harbor. Thanks for the info. While I will definately paddle in the ocean, that can wait a little bit. Scott

Hey all, I'm new to Boston and would like to know what the possiblities of the charles river are. I love to paddle slow meandering rivers and have good endurance. How much of the river can be paddled in one day and where are the put ins? I guess secondarily is anyone interested in doing a marathon paddle down the charles? I have no clue the possible dates of such a trip as unpacking the apartment and getting settled into work are much higher priorities right now. Are there any other good rivers to paddle (mystic?)? Thanks, Scott
