Monday: Charles River Park -> Nahanton Park
Paddle: Down the Charles from Needham to Dedham to Newton
Distance: 9 miles
Pivo Index: 1
Charles River Canoe and Kayak has a great shuttle trip out of Nahanton Park. Dropped off at Charles River Park you paddle 9-10 miles back to Newton's Nahanton Park. We stopped in Dedham/West Roxbury at Spring Street Cafe for a good sandwich and a Laganitas. At this point the Charles is lined with beautiful park land and reservations. Great way to finish off a three day weekend.
