Chipnuneticook Lakes Tour July or August 2010

[ryanward10]

Hi all,
Two of us are planning a four day, three night paddle through the Chipnuneticook Lakes from North Lake to Vanceboro. We were thinking of stops at Hayes Point, Birch Islands area, and Big Island. If anyone has any tips for us, or is interested in joining us. The rough plan is 10-20 miles a day including detours. We're running long kayaks with sails so favorable winds will add more detours to more inlets and coves. We're thinking August 12-15. (update, we now have 5 members tentatively)

I might be doing a similiar trip in early June.

I last paddled this area in June 2006 (see trip report on home page) and enjoyed it immensely.
It's a great flat water trip with ample opportunities to explore.

Don't forget to check out Mud Falls and the historic native site at the mouth of the Diggity Stream.
