Curious about Wooden Canoes
Coming from the great Northeast, and specifically around Boston, I am sure many of you have heard of the Charles River....."I love that dirty water.....ooowww Boston you're my home". Glad you can't hear me sing!
Anyhow, the upper reaches of the Charles River, from it's headwaters in Millis, MA. where you would think your out in the wilderness somewhere, it meanders as only a river can through town after town, with oxbows and streams to explore. Right down to the wide open river separating Boston and Cambridge down to the famous Esplanade.
There are a couple portages to accomplish around the few water falls along the way. But packing a lunch, or a fishing rod for large and smallmouth bass is always a great experience. And boy do river bass pull.
Or simply put away the paddle and drift with the current, watching the red winged blackbirds, the red tail hawks, herons, egrets, osprey, and any number of other birds along some now clean water.
All in all it's great place to paddle away the days.
