Ok, from the Cattle Landing town dock and parking lot, the 2500' or so(?) heavily wooded and treed shoreline is just a 10-30 minute kayak paddle away. The first thing you see is a floating sign buoy, 'Loon Nesting Area - Keep Out!', so you want to paddle out and around that area of the Camp Menotomy shoreline, up the shore, and eventually to the waterfront dock, sandy beach area.

Technically, Camp Menotomy is a Girl Scout camp except the last full 8-week camper season was back in about the year 2000, and now it is usually unoccupied by anyone, except for the wildlife deer, bear, bobcat, fox, loon, eagle, Canada goose, and black capped chickadees who have moved into this 95-acre, 2500' shoreline, heavily wooded and swampy Lake Winnipesaukee property ..... all hungry for something good to eat.

So, considering the shoreline is good for kayaks, and has no propeller motorboats visitors what with the rocks, it should probably be good for jet-skis moving slowly along the intricate, unoccupied and interesting shoreline, too.

Who knows but maybe someday, the Town of Meredith will decide to purchase it and conserve it because it is definitely worth conserving.
