Trip Overview

Parking for several cars next to Chinese restaurant on route 140. It can get busy on the weekend, but I've always found a spot. There are two slightly sloped access points to the water, one of which has a step. Both are gentle enough to carry down. Put-in tends to get weedy mid to late summer, but it's clear sailing once you're away from the shore. Fairly large pond with a few islands to explore. Shoreline is mostly private property and most of it is developed.
