Paddling on Sunday - January 26th

Posted by Erik on 1/25/2020, 9:09 am

Sunny and in the mid 40's tomorrow. Anyone interested in a flatwater trip. I'll go north (Blackstone/Sudbury/Assabet), south (Wood/Pawcatuck) or west (Quinebaug/Willimantic).

Catch these warm days while you can. (Cold water gear required).

How about lower Shannock to Alton? Could do hot lunch at the campsite.

Sounds like plan - I did with Bill and Jonathan back in the fall and it was clear. Meet at 10:0 at Alton for the shuttle up to Lower Skannock. That should get up to the campsite at around noon.

Good time today - plenty of water, nice break for lunch with a campfire, and a bit of a slog paddling up to Alton.

Bridge Construction on Route 112

By the way, bridge construction on the Carolina Road Bridge (Route 112) above the Carolina Raceway continues through 2021. We scouted it for obstructions and ran through fine, but you will need to be careful going through there for a while. Portaging across the construction site would be a pain.
