East Inlet Pond - Pittsburg, NH

East Inlet Flowage (or Pond) was a side trip (about 15 minutes) from Lake Francis that was downright amazing. We saw 2 adult bald eagles and 1 juvenile eagle. We even saw one threatening a loon and her baby and then watched it swoop down and catch a fish. We saw a river otter, yellow warbler, loons, geese.  This was a long and tiring kayak but mostly because on our way out, the wind picked up and it was head on for the entire trip back to the car.

We explored all of the inlets and coves on the right side of the pond and then found ourselves in the 'inlet' brook. Winding forever (?) we followed this deep channel through scrub, marsh, alder and sedge. It kept going going, and was fun. Never knowing what was around the next corner kept it interesting. This is where we saw the otter and the warbler.  I think that if we had gone early in the day, we had the chance to see moose and more birds. There were a ton of duck boxes and you could tell that this was a great place for photography and wildlife viewing.

A perfect place to spend an entire day, but bring layers (it got chilly) and expect wind in the middle of the day. There is absolutely NO development and occasionally you could hear logging trucks but they weren't offensive.
