Meeting location

Park at the Long Pond Boat Launch located on Castle Island Road, just west of Castle Island Camps. These coordinates can be put directly into your GPS to bring you to the launch: 44°30’43.0″N 69°54’45.7″W. Plan to meet 5-10 minutes before 10 am so we have time to get gear ready and check the paddle craft over.
