| + | * **Napatree Point ** (Napatree is actually just south of Little Narragansett) Kayakers catch waves here. They may be doing downwind laps and maybe there is tide race action that contributes to waves? | ||
| + | * **The Wading Pool ** there seems to be a shallow just north of the point that will build up long waves if there is some swell coming from the south. Check with local sea kayakers about best conditions, tides, shallow hazards?

| + | * **Conditions** | ||
| + | * In a typical winter you may be iced off paddling on the lake from December until April. Needless to say, this is often cold water paddling and you should be dressed for immersion. Average July and August water temperatures reach 70 deg. F with a slight drop off in September. But watch the shoulder months around these warmer months, the average water temperature is considerably colder in June and October with fairly steep rise and fall going into and away from the warmer Summer months. The Summer month water temperatures are not extreme, but they are still cold enough to warrant some caution if you have any risk of taking an extended swim. | ||
