902.0. "Eastern Mass Lakes for novice" by BPOV06::LAMPROS (Bill Lampros) Thu Jul 14 1988 17:25

    I recently picked up my CL 16 sailboat and am looking for some good
    lakes in the eastern Massachusetts area to sail. I need to find
    some lakes that are:
    
         1. Good for a novice to learn on &
         2. Has easy access for a boat trailer
    
    All suggestions are appreciated.

902.2PAILUM::STODDARDJust toolin' around...Tue Jul 19 1988 14:5910
    Try Indian Lake in Worcester.  It is near the intersection of I-290
    and I-190.  The boat ramp is on Rt. 122A.  The main sailing area
    is about � mile square.  Winds are moderate.  Average depth is 10
    feet.  Water is reasonably clean and reasonably weed free.  There
    are usually a number of sailboards and catamarans around and you
    might see me out in my Saroca (I live on the island).
    
    Have a GREAT day!

902.3TWO MORE CHOICESWILVAX::LANEMon Jul 25 1988 20:0612
    YOU COULD TRY LAKE COCHITUATE. THERE'S A STATE RUN RAMP OFF RTE.30
    IN FRAMINGHAM.  LOT'S OF SKI BOATS.  
    
    ALSO, HOPKINTON STATE PARK HAS EXCELLENT RAMPS/DOCKS.  CONSISTENT
    BREEZE, LOTS OF WINDSURFERS, NO POWER BOATS USUALLY.
    
    BOTH OF ABOVE ARE CONVENIENT BUT SMALL SIZE WILL GET TO YOU AFTER
    A FEW TIMES.
    
    WANT ANY HELP ?

	You can go to Quinsigamond on the Shrewsbury/Worcester line
        
	Boat ramp is on North Quinsig Ave, Shrewsbury, Main St. exit 
	on I-290, head twords Worc, first left and about 1/2 mile down
