Yes, I realize it’s the middle of winter, but I believe it is never too soon to start planning an outdoor adventure. Today I’m going to share with you some of my favorite places that my family and I have taken our Sea Eagle kayaks. First up on our list is the Boston Harbor Islands. Just six miles from downtown Boston, you can see lighthouses and gorgeous, windswept islands.

Plum Island Sound is another great place to kayak. Paddle through the shores near Middle Ground or head deep into the Great Salt Marsh. Fair warning – it can be a bit of a workout, even for an experienced paddler. Another spot to try is Lake Umbagog in New Hampshire. While paddling the lake you’ll be treated to views of purple finches, great blue herons, ducks, eagles and more.
