Lake Quinsigammond Paddle

Region: New England Activity Type: Kayaking/Canoeing Place: Worcester, MA

Howdy gents! Just putting a feeler out to gauge interest in a half-day paddle at Lake Quinsigammond in Worcester. Quinsigammond is a popular spot for boaters, paddlers and competitive rowers and has a few small islands to explore. Lake access is from Regatta Point which is a beautiful park on the lake's western shore. For those who don't own a kayak, rentals are available. Standard rate is $40 for 3 hours, but group rates may be available, depending on group size. There are many great restaurants and pubs located minutes from the park along nearby Shrewsbury Street, Worcester's now-famous "restaurant row" if folks are interested in a social gathering after conquering the lake. More info on the lake and Regatta Point here: https://regattapoint.org/ Please leave a comment here or contact me directly if Interested. Happy trails!

Just realized I neglected a date. Personally have no preference for weekend/weekday, but guessing most prefer weekends. Was thinking 6/29, 30 or any weekend in July. There's that Pemi Rim backpack (not ready /jealous AF!) so 7/13, 14 will not work for some. All ears...

I would totally go for this. Just ordered myself a kayak, coincidentally…

Great idea. I could do Sunday, 6/30, or most weekend days in July. I'll be bringing my own kayak, and according to the Go Paddling app, there are many drop-in points.
