kayaking the canal

[RobD]

This is probably an obscure question but here goes. Does anyone kayak the canal? Is it even possible/allowed?

I have. You can. They even rent boats just up street if you don't have one.

I do all the time, been messing around in the canal since I was a little kid. I've had all kinds of boats in there, just electric motors only. The millstone river is another close place that's fun to kayak and canoe as well, especially since the dam in Manville is gone. No restrictions on the river but it's easy to lose a prop there.

Up the street from where?

Up the street from where?

There's a rental place at the griggstown causeway and canal road (south of 6mr)

 

[Steve Vai]

Up the street from 6-Mile.

Up the street from 6-Mile.

And Turning Point park in Princeton. Same people, actually. Can't get to six-mile from there though, what with the Kingston lock in the way.

Yes some bridges leave little clearance depending on how much rain has fallen but it’s a nice smooth paddle devoid of wind, chop and other momentum killers.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ll have to throw the kayak on the rack one of these days and check it out.
