Chebacco Lake - Kayak Trip / Canoe Trip
Report Type: Day Trip Report
Trip Dates: July 1, 2012
Nearest City: Essex, MA
Difficulty: Easy
Submitted by: flyingslanted
Description:
Public boat launch with free parking on the south side of the lake. It's a busy launch for motorboats but still easy to launch.
Because the amoeba shape of the lake and the smaller size, boaters are asked to move counter clockwise. There is a small island in the middle where people parked their kayaks to hang out and a few small quiet coves with some grasses and Lilly Pads.
It was pleasant, but I think it would be more pleasant if it were not a Sunday afternoon with temps approaching 90F. Week night might be more relaxing.
Accommodations:
Paved boat launch with about 14 parking spaces. One porta potty, which was very clean.
Fees:
No
Directions:
Off Route 1A, Rt 22 and find Chebacco Road.
Public boat launch and parking paved and on left.
