Turkey Paddle at Wallum Lake - November 5, 2022

Pirates of Wallum Lake

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.

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. A storm front was moving through and there were scattered showers and gusty winds. Most of the crew turned around about half way up, but Paul and I continued down to the southern end.

After the paddle I headed home for pot roast - just like in 2021 and 2013.
