We stick to East or West Passage, Jamestown Harbor (on calmer days), always stay close to shore and in the lee or we paddle on the Sakonnet where I live or on Narrow River as last option. In fact even in the Summer we pick our days carefully, and drop down to our intermediate skis." | * Wesley Echols - "we NEVER paddle this course in the Winter Time. NEVER!

| + | * 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. | ||
