access to Varney Islands

I want to kayak around the Varney Islands. My yak is too big to easily shuttle over by power boat. Is Wolfeboro the nearest launch to access the Varneys? Any private launches close by where I might be able to arrange a park & launch?

Try Robert's Cove Basin

Quote:

Launch – $20.00 for boats and jet skis, up to two watercraft per trailer; $5.00 for hand launch of canoes and kayaks. Launch fee includes putting in, taking out and parking for 1 vehicle for 1 day.

Great suggestion McDude! Leaving from Robert's Cove via kayak is a great way to go to the Varney Islands.

You could also go to Clark Park in Wolfeboro. It might be a little closer than Robert's Cove.

Google maps shows Clark Point at the end of Clark Road (Mitt's neighborhood) Shown on the map is McKinney Park and described in the Wolfeboro recreation brochure as follows;

Quote:

McKinney Park

A hidden gem in Wolfeboro, this quiet wooded point on Lake Winnepesauke offers picnicking, swimming and bird watching. Come enjoy lunch in one of Wolfeboro’s most beautiful spots where the water is deep and cold on those hot summer days. Also popular as a dive spot for local scuba divers. Located at the end of Clark Rd. Click here for map.

That's the one!!! It's at the end of Clark Road which is across from Huggins. The Park is not well known so seldom busy.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:54 AM.
