Messin’ About In Canoes: An informal get together to paddle, share stories and just enjoy being on the water with other canoeists. Bring your own canoe, gear, etc..
We’ll put in at the canoe launch at Lake Gardner Beach in Amesbury, MA. Launch is at the end of the sidewalk leading to the right, just before it enters the woods.
NOTE: Lake Gardner is occasionally closed by the Town if the levels of bacteria in the lake rise to unacceptable levels. If that is the situation on the day of the paddle, we’ll reach out to you (if you’ve sent us an email letting us know you’d be joining us) to let you know. The backup launch will be the Ipswich River Canoe Launch at 290 Ipswich Rd, Topsfield, MA 01983 (by Bradley-Palmer Park)
We’ll mess about in the little cove for a bit if folks want, then head up the length of the lake and into the Pow Wow - should be a fun evening. We’re not in a hurry, so that’s more of a direction than a fixed goal. What we actually do will depend on winds, weather and what folks want to do.
If we have to cancel for any reason, we’ll post a notice here and on our home page. If you include a phone number in you email, we’ll be able to call you as well.
