Has a few parking spots, easy access to Sudbury River for my stand up paddle board. Muddy, as the river is low There is a good current here, probably 1-2 knots, so I went south (upriver) first. It's shallow, and I had to use a kayak paddle for several spots for to the current and need to maneuver. Several downed trees across the river, but possible to pass under by sitting down. It's lush and narrow: pretty. But I had to focus on the paddling so it didn't feel leisurely. Only went for 30 minutes to the first car bridge, then drifted back. I had a nice surprise when a beaver swam across I'm from my of me, quite close. I think it's probably a better spot for walking on the adjacent trail.
Launched a kayak here in December. A decent launch point but some improvement on the path and at the waterline would be great. No toilet
Fun little trail in saxonville along the river. Raised bridge on flooded trails. Nice dog walk trail. Watch out for the mosquitos, though
Nice Putin spot for paddling. Ok parking. Bit muddy and steep to get in, but acceptable. Could use a bit of sprucing up.
I go about 50 ticks off of my dog after this trail😭
