Tully River

Posted by Earl MacRae on 10/17/2018, 9:02 am

I am planning on heading up to Tully River this Friday, Oct 19th. Meet at the Canoe launch on Doane Hill Road at 10:00, just past the Tully lake campground.

No shuttle required. We will paddle up the Tully River to Long Pond where we will stop for lunch. We can take the short hike along the Spirit Brook Trail to Spirit Falls. We will then paddle back down the Tully River and explore the northern shore of Tully Lake.

Anyone interested?

Directions: Get yourself to Route 2 West in MA and take exit 17. Go north on Route 32, through Athol, for about 6 miles - you will see the Tully Lake Recreation Area on the right. Continue north on Route 32 for about ½ mile and turn right on Doane Hill Road. Access is about a mile up the road on the left, just over the bridge.

I'm in. I've never paddled there but I heard that it is beautiful and should be great this time of year.

That is a great trip - maybe you can paddle through the weeds at the top of Long Lake into the Tully River. If we get some rain Spirit Falls will be pretty.

I really tried to re-schedule a bunch of commitments so I could make the paddle, but it didn't work out. Guys, enjoy the paddle!

Such a nice trip - and nice you had water running down Spirit Falls.
