Trip Overview
Beautiful, easy trip down the Quabog River in a Sea Eagle 370. It's a very quiet river (little traffic and few houses). There is a fair amount of wildlife visible. We saw at least 8 blue herons, a bald eagle and numerous turtles.
We did a 6-mile trip downriver from the boatramp in Brookfield (https://goo.gl/maps/aq4zv) to the Route 19 parking area (https://goo.gl/maps/4SuCr).
It took us 3 hours of slow paddling. There is little current so one could easily go upriver. You can also take out about a mile earlier at Long Hill Road in West Brookfield.
Accommodations:
There was a portapotty at the boat ramp
Fees:
No
Directions:
Use Google Map links in the report.
Both locations are just a short way off Route 9 in the Brookfields.
