Turkey Paddle at Wallum Lake - November 9, 2024

After putting out the Christmas lights in the morning, I headed over to Wallum Lake in the afternoon for the Turkey Paddle with the RICKA Flatwater crew.

Wallum is a 200-acre lake on the border of MA and RI. The northern end lies in the Douglas State Forest and much of the western shore lies in the Buck Hill Management Area. It is about 2 miles long and ¼ to ½ mile wide.

The forecast was for gusty winds, so I decided to bring my sea kayak. I was surprised when Chuck pulled in with a kayak as well. Fortunately, Cheryl and Tom were paddling canoes, so at least we had two.

We put-in at the boat ramp in the Douglas State Park (there is also a put-in in Burrillville that I have never used), and headed down the west side of the lake. There were gusty winds, so I was glad that I had my sea kayak. We made it down to the southern end at Zambarano Hospital before turning around.
