Kayaking The Charles River Boston | Paddling Into The Charles River Basin
Over the course of the past year I have explored by water kayaking the Charles River. From the rivers head in Hopkinton to its end in Boston, Massachusetts. It winds the same paths that it has since the Settlers arrived and meet the Massawachett indian tribe who once flourished in this area. A Historic river in many senses, it has been heavily used, abused, cleaned and recently was declared again, a swimmable river. The last 12 Miles passes thru the towns of Waltham, Newton, Watertown, Allston, Brighton, Cambridge and Boston. You will see all kinds of iconic sites. The Fenway’s Citgo sign, Harvard University, MIT University, The Prudential building, The Hancock Building, The State House, The Hatshell, Lonfellow bridge, Science Museum and The Zakim Bridge are just a few!
Everyone should experience this trip!

Creating Greenways Along the Charles River
‘Creating Greenways Along the Charles River’ features a panel discussion on plans for parklands and greenways along Charles River in the Newton area. This well attended event occurred on Thursday, January 24 in the Druker Auditorium at the Newton Free Library in Newton, MA.
Three outstanding panelists presented the history and a vision to restore this heritage, including new bike/pedestrian greenways along the Charles River and the role that greenways play in maintaining the health and vitality of the river, the people and the communities.
Alicia Bowman, President of Bike Newton, moderated the discussion and introduced the panelists.
Emily Norton, Newton City Councilor and Executive Director of the Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA - crwa.org), described the history of the Charles River, the work of the CRWA, issues of pollution, and past and future improvements to the Charles RIver watershed.
Dan Driscoll, Director of the Office of Recreational Facilities Planning in the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR - gave an overview of the trail and greenway projects across the state and metropolitan area, with special focus on the past efforts on the Charles River Greenway and exciting possibilities for the new Riverside Greenway.
Herb Nolan, Executive Director of The Lawrence & Lillian Solomon Foundation (solomonfoundation.org), and member of Riverside Greenway Working Group, focused on specifics of the vision of creating further access along the Charles River through the Newton area via new greenways, old rediscovered paths, and restored bridges. His review culminates with an exciting drone's eye video of the proposed greenway along the Charles.
An interesting and wide ranging Question and Answer session followed the panelist presentations.

More freedom lost? - kayaking Charles River Esplanade, Boston MA
Before the April 15th 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon, there was usually a full concert schedule and plenty of events at the Ellipse, Hatch Shell and Esplanade. WZLX, a local classic rock radio station would have some great artists come to town and play free concerts at the Shell! We kayakers used to be able to sit in the Storrow Lagoon, paddle up and down enjoying the music, land for bathroom breaks or hitting concessions.. It was awesome.
This footage is from the Dennis DeYoung (formerly of Styx) concert, 20 July 2013. In full daylight before the show picked up, we were allowed unrestricted access and enjoyed listening to the opening band for a while. As the crowd started to arrive though, our not so friendly Mass State Police angrily ordered my friend and I out and away from the Esplanade. We were instructed that we had to remain out of all lagoon areas and can only observe from the river where they wanted us to remain stationary. These restrictions have been enforced since then too. Along with additional clamp downs on movement limited to I think the hour before and after an event. In other words, if you aren't in the vicinity of where you need to anchor, (that's right my fellow kayakers, I said anchor) an hour before, you can't come in. I'm all for protecting the masses, but this ruins some of the joys of living near and paddling in Boston. We'll live with it, and I hope concerts resume with some lighter restrictions soon.
This was a hosted event of the New England Kayak Club.

This completes the excursion through the Nonantum part of Charles River bank frontage in Newton. It comes to a stream called Cheesecake Brook where I was dogged by ducks who assumed I had food.
Kayak NJ the Musconetcong River and Schitz Creek 032214
Early spring paddle on the Musky. Beauty of a day on the river. Explored an offshoot of the river that is virtually unnavigable in the summer due to overgrowth of water plants. In the fall I would stay out of this area as duck hunters take over this heavily duck populated area of the river. This section goes back for almost a mile. Toward the back it gets very narrow and shallow. In many spots it is only a few inches deep. Lots of water fowl in this section. They did not like the intrusion of my boat at all. Lots of quacking as they took to flight over head. Plenty of wood ducks, mallards and Canada Geese.
