    Hi Paul,

    I used to race the six-mile event because the start and finish are in the same place.

    Long time no see. I do most of my paddling in southeast FL now.

    Paul, a quick read of the race packet indicates the 3 and 6 mile races are loops. Parking info towards the back.

    I've just signed up to volunteer on the water at the upcoming Run of the Charles paddling race. Was curious to see if any other NSPN paddlers would either be participating in the kayak race or volunteering with me. I'll be at the BU bridge on the Cambridge side to keep an eye out for the relay participants.

    Curiosity piqued? Check out details here: https://www.crwa.org/events/runofthecharles

    CANCELLED Oct. 14 Back River and Weymouth/Hingham paddle

    in Past Trips

    Posted · Edited by Ms. Dew

    Hey all. Who's down to take advantage of the weather forecasted for Saturday and go for a paddle around the Back River and other spots in the area? Would look to meet in the parking lot at the Weymouth boat ramp (Carven Sr. State boat ramp on NOAA chart) at 9:00 am and launch around 9:30 pm. I believe they are not collecting parking/launching fees now that we are past Indigenous Peoples weekend. We may get lucky and the portapotties will still be around but in a pinch there are bathrooms down the road at Webb Memorial State Park.

    July 24 UMass Lowell history paddle on the Merrimack River

    in Trip Reports

    Posted

    Joyce and I had a lovely time joining about a dozen other paddlers led by the UMass Lowell Kayak Center along the Merrimack River. We were fortunate that lightning and storm clouds left the area so we could launch our boats. My favorite part was paddling through a short section of channelized river tributary by the light of our bow lights and then noticing the stone work with some added help from my phone's light. Even had my dad along for the adventure. I hope I can return and do a longer exploration of the channel system by daylight soon. It was refreshing to see such a robust and vibrant place after an early spring visit to purchase my current kayak. Really hope that a few for whom it was their first time or two on the water have caught the bug. Highly recommend getting out with this group if you have the opportunity!
