Charles River Peninsula

My new favorite launch on The Charles. Usually paddle the charles in Millis/Medfield area and I have never seen the water this clean. Its fall now and the foliage was beautiful. Another couple was at the boat launch when we arrived and said its uaually packed. I can see why. It really is so beautiful here. Can't wait to return and see what the spring has in store!

I almost don't want to post because it's so quiet and scenic! Lots of spots by the water tho hang out and a huge pollinators meadow

Feel like English countryside

Such a nice area!
Really peaceful, great for a picnic, easy to access by car.
Early fall best time of the year to visit: leaves are so colorful and birds are pretty active.

Only downside: those electric poles are so ugly they ruin the experience…

What a lovely stretch of the Charles River. This time of year not much wildlife.
However, the myriad of twists and turns offer many delightful scenes.
A bonus, if you call it that, is seeing some seriously impressive houses.
Light current and lots to see makes this a candidate for repeated paddles

Very cool park. It made a great stopping point/lunch spot during our kayak trip in the Charles River. Great kayak/canoe landing, benches, and plenty of lawn for picnicking, frisbee, a walk with the dog, etc.

One of our favorite walking spots, right on the Charles, usually not too crowded
