Paddle Wednesday morning 11/26

Posted by Frank C on 11/22/2025, 9:19 pm

I'm planning to paddle Wednesday morning. With a forecast high of 57 degrees it is a wonderful way to help build up an appetite for Thanksgiving dinner and the exercise will help you rationalize having that third piece of pumpkin pie.
Launch time is TBD but definitely before noon, open to suggestions for location. Specifics to be finalized Monday night.
Water temps will still be very cold so wet or dry suit is required.
Hope to see you there, Frank

Launching at Lackey Dam at 10:30 AM. Air temps should be around 58 with cloudy skies. The water will still be very cold based on recent below freezing night temps so wet or dry suit required. Will not stop for lunch, bring a snack suitable for consumption in your boat. Hope to see a few hearty souls there.

I checked the put-in today, the water is high and the parking area appears to have been graded a bit.
I hope to get past the fallen tree west of rt 146 that was there a couple years ago and explore up the Mumford toward GIlboa pond and maybe up the other fork into Dunleavy Brook.
