wild meadow canoe and kayak

Excellent place to do anything kayak or paddle board. They carry high end kayaks, paddle boards, and all your gear for the water (real nice paddles and life jackets). They also some very nice rental equipment. Over the years I have bought 2 kayaks here and have referred several friends. I also do group rentals through WMCK for my school. Tom and his crew are always very pleasant and accommodating. The fact that they are located right on the water is perfect to try out a boat or take out a rental for a nice paddle around the bay.

A few weeks before out vacation we were searching for a place to rent kayaks on Lake Winnipesaukee which was close to where we were staying in Ashland. We called Wild Meadow and was told that they did have the kayaks we wanted. The man on the phone went over thier rates (half day, day, ect...). I told him that we wanted a half day on the morning of June 24th. He took my name, number in my party and told me that he would see me at 9:00 am. I asked him if he needed a deposit? No he told me, I will have everything waiting for you.So we arrived a little before 9 am and everything was set out and ready for us. We all signed the paperwork and paid him. After some instructions on where the speed boat channel was and nice places to go, we set out.It was a Monday morning and we had most of the lake to ourselves. It was a sunny day in the 70's with very little wind. It was great for kayaking along the coast..We paddled away from Center Harbor by some homes, but mostly it was wooded area.Since there were very few speed boats we paddled across the lake going east by Three Mile Island. We were barked at by a dog guarding a dock and house on one of the small islands. One kayak in our group did paddled as far as the Old Long Island Bridge. Then we turned around and took our time paddling back to Center Harbor. On this side there were many more houses to look at along the way.Lake Winnipesaukee will take you away from all of the stress of the modern world if you let it. Kayaking in its waters did it for me.
