Paddled Upper Highland Lake in the D.A.R. State Forest in Goshen, MA last weekend. First did a quick paddle with my wife and 14-month old son, but he soon tired of wearing a life preserver, so while they went swimming, I explored the southern and eastern edges of the lake.
It was a drizzly day, but the temperatures were in the eighties, and I was the only craft out on the water. Had a great time paddling, even if a lightly-loaded AEII paddled from the rear isn't the most graceful of crafts. Recommended destination for Western Massachussetts paddlers. Next up: Littleville Lake and the Westfield River above the dam.
