Section 13: Kayak/Canoe Subject: Lewis Road Kayak launch Msg# 839820

I hope it's not wasted time and money and effort to make that Ayres Creek kayak launch a reality, but I can't imagine many people using it. Carrying or pulling a kayak uphill for more than 100 feet after hours of paddling will not be easy. And because many people kayak with a friend, they are used to having two people carry a kayak because they can be quite heavy. So it will be two trips down the 100-plus feet path to the water and then two trips hauling the kayaks back up after the kayak venture on the water. We are used to kayaking at Assateague where we only have to carry the kayaks for fewer than 10 feet. We pull them from the back of the pickup truck, carry them a few feet to the water and that's it.
We will not be using the new launch site even once. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: thanks for the update Nancy...I have only seen the launch from the water and couldn't see the parking lot due to the hill. Someone else told me there is fast fall-off from the launch sand to the creek bottom muck too. We have wheels...but pulling a kayak on wheels is no thrill either especially when coming back after a long paddle. We'll probably continue to pay the nominal launch fee at Ayers Creek Adventures. THe owners, Suzy and Steve are nice folks too. M/R |
