Boston Kayaker

Kayaking on Mountain Brook Reservoir - in Jaffrey NH Rating: One-and-a-Half Stars - We kayaked on the Columbus Day when the autumn foliage is just about to peek. The reservoir has this odd shape of arms that you do not see the whole thing from anywhere and makes it interesting in a nice way. Kinda gray and misty weather that day. Paddle time was 1 hour and 8 minutes.   Put in at Route 202   in Jaffrey NH. Paddle around the Mountain Brook   Reservoir arms and return. Estimated round trip   distance = 3+ miles Mountain Brook   Dam Alternate put in at   Jacquith Road. Lacy Road Lot   Town Forest Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to determine the legality, suitability and safety of this route for yourself.
