Massabesic Kayak Paddling

Today we pulled the Heritage Featherlite kayaks out of storage and tossed them on the our Yakima rack. We took a short 35 minute drive to Massabesic Lake in Manchester, NH. Massabesic lake is a city water supply that allows boating but no swimming. We stopped at the main park entrance to try out the port-o-lets before launching the boats. Of course we quickly discovered there was not a boat launch at the main parking area along.

We got back in the car and headed around the lake. Near the first bridge on Route 121 was a nice place to launch. After a few minutes we had the boats ready to go. The water was clear and very cool. With the 80+ degree weather it felt nice as it dripped on us. Of course we did not put our feet in the water since it is a city water supply, but we were tempted.

We paddled our kayaks around for a good hour and then sat and listened to the silence for a little while. The sun felt nice and there was a light breeze. After a little relaxation we headed back and slept like babies!

It is supposed to be 90+ degrees tomorrow – looks like another good day to head out after church.
