The trip report

Written by Twigs

The 4 of us started on just after 1000hrs heading down stream on the Nashua River. as we entered the swamp area the other paddlers learned quicklly why I love this route so much. We saw 2 beatiful Swans, 2 turtles enjoying the last sunny days of the season, a bunch a blue/gray cranes, more ducks that a person can count, 1 bald eagle flying over head. as we snaked in and out of the swamps and on and off the main river, I over heard the other paddles saying that they felt like they were far off the beaten path. That is the excat reason i Love that area so much, it is a great place to unplug. After the paddle one member and my self traveled north about a .25mi to the local fram store and grabed a home made pie. will have to do the paddle again in the late spring as the wild life is starting to come to life with their young.

About this event

Easy paddling... normally start off by heading down stream with the current, and take many detours threw swamps to enjoy the animals is "thier" home. We will turn around once we hit the area I call "the abandoned houses" which apparently are not abandoned. Then either paddle the river back to the cars or paddle the swamps on the other side of the river... this is a nice calm Easy paddle. Even on the main river the current is not strong. The photo has the two locations to drop in. Bother are across the street from each other. They are located in groton, ma on Rt.119 on the Nashua River.
