Boston Kayaker

Kayaking on Nashua River - from Route 117 in Lancaster MA to Still River MA Rating: Two Stars - This stretch of the Nashua River is totally undeveloped with no houses and roads in sight. We saw and pictured a wild goat on the Bolton Flats side and a blue heron. Many blowdown trees along the way but none requires portage on this trip date. The river becomes monotonous after a while though.   Put in at Seven Bridge Road /   Route 117 in Lancaster MA. Take out at Still River Depot   Road in Still River MA.
