Boston Kayaker

Kayaking on Sudbury River - from Framingham MA to Wayland MA Rating: One-and-a-Half Stars - The first mile was a very pleasant tree-lined shores and about half-shaded. The river was only knee-deep in the first half of this route. I remeber seeing only very few houses (less than 5) in the entire stretch. This is a good one-way trip but will be a very long one done round trip.   Put in at Little Farms Road   in Framingham MA. Take out at River Road   in Wayland MA. Estimated distance   = 4.5 miles Alternate take out / put   in at Route 20 bridge. oxbow   lakes   Notes: When rivers meander and are sometimes cut off from their course, they form   an "oxbow lake" which is so named because of the distinctive "U" shape. Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to determine the legality, suitability and safety of this route for yourself.
