Heading out |
The Charles River arises at Echo Lake in Hopkinton, and flows generally east for 85-miles, zig-zagging through 22 cities and towns in eastern MA before emptying into Boston Harbor. There are a number of great flatwater trips on the Charles including the Bays Region from Natick to Wellesley, the Elm Bank Reservation from Wellesley to Needham, the Lakes District from Weston to Waltham and the Dedham Loop.
Passing the Praying Girl |
This section starts off in marshland before entering into woodlands at the Rocky Narrows Reservation and the Mass Audubon Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary. We stopped for lunch at the picnic site at Rocky Narrows. The trip ends at the So. Natick Dam after passing by the Praying Girl statue and under Sergeant’s Bridge.
