New Opportunity to Ride the River

by Glenn C. Koenig, webmaster at Town Wide Mall

Maynard, MA - Tonight at 5 PM, the Town of Maynard Recreation Department will debut a new way to travel the Assabet River: Kayaking!  A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned, according to this announcement on the Town's web site:

The ribbon cutting will take place at the Ice House Landing on the Assabet River, the location where the Town will be providing kayak rentals, for the rest of the summer, and planned for years to come.

Those who are new to town may not know where the "Ice House Landing" is (the only address given on the web site).  It is located just off Winter Street, in an area of the river west of downtown Maynard (the green "push pin" at the lower center of the map at right).  There is a small parking lot near the site, but that can accommodate only ten cars.  For the ribbon cutting, if the lot is full, guests are advised to park elsewhere and walk or bicycle in on the Assabet River Rail Trail, which passes right by the site.

We hope to have a report here on this news page, including photographs, of this event, in the coming days.
