Kayak Trips

Upcoming Trip

May 13, 2007, 10:30AM - Mill Ponds in Brewster

 We’ve planned the first COC kayak trip for Sunday, May 13. Here’s the trip info:

Walkers Upper and Lower Mill Pond

Description

Launch from Walker’s Beach TL, off Slough Rd.  Paddle is about 4 miles.  This trip features circumnavigating three kettle ponds, the first two connected by a short cut over sand, and the last two by a shallow creek (may have to drag kayaks through these).  Goal is to reach the grist mill at the north end of Lower Mill Pond.  Returning, stop for lunch at the Punkhorn Conservation parklands beach on the northeast side of Upper Mill Pond; then through the cut and along the east side of Walkers Pond, to the launch point. Walkers, Upper and Lower Mill Ponds,

Directions to the launch

Take Exit 10 off Rt. 6, going south on Rt. 124; at first blinking red light, take right onto Queen Anne Rd. about 2 m; bearing right onto Main St, go another 0.3 m to Depot St.  Turn right onto Depot St, which becomes Slough Rd. on entering Brewster.  Travel 2m to a paved parking area on the right.  

 

Some guidelines to remember:

  1. Rain and/or wind will postpone or cancel the trip. Remember to check your email if the weather forecast is iffy.
  2. PFD’s are mandatory in Massachusetts from October 15th through April 15, and are advised on all trips.
  3. Bring a lunch and consider bathing suits as weather allows, insect repellant and sun bloc / lotion.
  4. Also consider bringing a whistle, a bailer or pump, and windbreaker.
  5. Kayakers paddle at their own risk and make their own decision as to whether to go or not.
  6. We request you stay in a group and do not leave without notifying the trip leader.
  7. A sweep will be assigned to follow the group and all hands will stand by if help is needed.
  8. Fun and Safety for all are our main concern.
