Hundred acre 30 acre 2024

An alternative to the Great Swamp and Worden’s Pond, from Taylor's Landing is an out-and-back paddle heading upstream, under the Rt. 138 bridge (if the water level is low enough), 1.7 miles each way as far as Hundred Acre Pond. You are likely to encounter at least one beaver dam, which can be a challenge to haul kayaks/canoes over going upstream. It is an interesting and pretty paddle.

Requirements to attend this paddle
· arrive 1/2 hour prior to posted launch time
· light
· whistle
· 10 foot kayak or longer recommended (no inflatables or SUP's)
· Coast Guard approved PFD (inflatable PFDs are not allowed)
· bilge pump
· appropriate clothing for the water temperature
· Event start time is in your boat, in the water, and ready to paddle! You will need to transport your boat a few hundred feet, from the parking lot to the beach to launch.
