As usual I forgot to start my GPS at the beginning of the trip, but we put in at the boat launch, and paddled around Dry Island, which is the unlabeled green blob on the map. It is a neat big rock, but difficult to land on. You can certainly tell the direction of the prevailing winds. Though today was very calm, which was great.
Then we headed for the eastern shore. We paddled a short distance into Hatchery Brook, but although there was lots of flow and deep water it was completely clogged with cattails. So we headed for the brook out of Black Pond and it was really neat. Though we had to turn around when we got to a very low bridge with no way around or over it.
Then we paddled to Green Island and stopped at campsite #3 for lunch. Then back towards the boat launch with a side trip to a Nature Conservancy site in a little bay to the west of the launch site. One of our number had been there before or we would never have known about it. It is a fairly small and shallow area with lots of white water lilies. I finally got a photo with a reflection.
