Early Fall on Lake Quinsigamond


There was no lingering feel of summer to be had on Lake Quinsigamond this morning.  After heading up the lake from the Oak Island Boat Launch in Shrewsbury, conditions began to look less inviting as the Route 9 bridge loomed in the distance. 
Visiting Adirondack Pirate Captain V. Dangerous was in the area and paddling the mighty Quinsigamond for his first time...

In addition to about a half dozen fishing boats, we found the lake hosting an osprey, a small green heron and this mute swan trying to gain elevation...


A small amount of floatable trash was recovered...



Of the 16 pieces 13 were recyclable containers (2 redeemable) and 3 were miscellaneous rubbish such as styrofoam cups.  YTD total stands at 5194.
