It has been a busy summer so we finally got our kayaks out and on the water. We decided to give Green River Reservoir a visit since we had heard so much about it from our friends. Green River Reservoir is a fairly new Vermont State Park and you can tell that they have done alot of recent renovations and improvments. They have also recently instituted a $3.00 per person user fee. Camping is available by boat only - they seem to have over 30 remote sites that looked very nice and private - some even have composting toilets that them.
We followed the shoreline on the western half of the Lake most of the time and then cut across to a nice picnic spot. We did not go all the way up the spur at the northern part of the lake since we had already been out for a few hours. We could see people heading that way and it looked shallower and more marshlike.
Even though it sort of looked like it might rain, it was actually a very nice day. The sun peeked out once and awhile and it was quite hot at times, but mostly it was a nice, pleasant temperature with a gentle breeze to keep us cool.

We saw tons of loons, one with two babies riding on her back. We saw Common Mergansers and lots of evidence of beavers.
All in all, it was a nice day to get away from the office and brush off the kayak cobwebs. We covered about 3 1/4 miles in about 2 1/2 hours.
