We ventured to Mansfield Hollow in Mansfield by way of Bassetts
Bridge Rd. We were taking brand new Kayaks for a first adventure in
the lake. The day was grand, our paddles , lifejackets and kayaks in
the back of the pickup. Old Town Canoe was having a great
demonstration sponsored by our friends at Water Works Canoe Rte 6 N.
Windham. You can rent a canoe or kayak here. Many of their models
were available for trying what a fun day! We suggest you go to the
boat launch and put in there. Paddle through the tubes and head
toward the dam. As you come down the lake come around the meadow
keep the meadow on the right as you come into view of the dam keep it
to your right and head directly toward the dike in the distance. The
dike here resembles the great wall of China. Keep your eyes alert we
saw a muskrat , and a great blue heron on this trip. We needed to
turn along the opposite shore as we passed three trees on the waters
edge, a gravel embankment to the water and into a small cove on the
left. This is such a quiet little cove we paddled straight to the
end our back was to the dike now and beached our boats there. We
scrambled up the embankment under the pines at the peak of the little
hill we took a right. Note two large pines that have fallen. In the
roots of the further one the Lone Goose has made her nest. Good Luck
and remember where a life jacket everyone!
