| In the marsh |
Michelle and I took the Spirit II out to paddle the Whitehall Reservoir with the Blackstone Valley Paddle Club.
At one time, Whitehall Reservoir was a water supply for areas west
of Boston. With the completion of the Quabbin Reservoir in 1939, drinking water from
Whitehall was no longer needed, and the area eventually was turned into a state
park. The park encompasses the 575-acre reservoir’s entire shoreline, giving it
an isolated feel

| By the dam |
We put in at the boat ramp at the intersection of Wood Street (Route 135) and Dale Road in Hopkinton, and paddled
through the marshy area at the northern end of the lake. We then paddled to dam before returning
to the boat ramp. Blueberries are abundant
along the shore, so it would be nice to come back in late July or early August.
There is also a 6-mile hiking
trail that would be nice for snowshoeing.
