UPDATED LAUNCH SITE: Thursday Nite Paddle - Peatfield Landing River Dock, Peatfield St, Ipswich MA

  • Peatfield Landing River Dock Peatfield Street Ipswich, MA, 01938 United States (map)

Thursday Nite Paddle: 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 Peatfield Landing River Dock on Peatfield Street in Ipswich, MA. There is a small parking lot/unloading point close to the launch, and additional street parking in the neighborhood.

The river is low, as it usually is this time of year, with the water level (very) roughly about three feet below the dock. The good news is that the water weeds help stabilize the canoe as you step down.

We’ll head upriver towards the Riverbend Headquarters of the Ipswich River Watershed Association and beyond, passing under the railroad bridge and proceeding upriver until it shallows too much for effective paddling, or we get to the point where we start to lose the light.

We suggest bringing a light (headlamp, etc.) in case we run a bit late.

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.

Please click here if you are interested in attending. If the mail link doesn’t work, then please send an email to whiterosecanoe@gmail.com. Please include a phone number where we can reach you in case there is a last minute change.

Note: This is not an “official” event - just folks getting together to paddle at the same time in the same place
