91.0. "Lake Mascuppic" by STAR::KMCDONOUGH () Thu Jul 28 1988 13:55

    
    
    I don't know if any of you will ever have to take me up on this,
    but if you are ever on lake Mascuppic in Tyngsboro/Dracut Mass.
    and you need any help, feel free to come by my place.
    
    All of the usual assistance applies: bathroom, phone, gas, need
    a cold beer, etc.
    
    As you look across the lake from the boat ramp, I am on the far shore
    on the left.  I have a fire-engine-red basement door that faces the
    lake that's pretty easy to spot.  Almost anybody in the area could
    point you to my house.

        Kevin, Did you have a bad experience or something and someone
           came to your rescue and treated you like a king?

    re .1
    
    Well, not exactly.  But I have run out of gas on the lake and had
    someone tow me in.  The lake isn't that big and I live there so it was
    no big deal.  I just wanted to let other noters know that I was
    willing to help.
    
    BTW, if anyone wants to stop by and give me a cold beer, that's
    ok too. 8-)

    Kevin,
    Sounds like an offer too good to pass up. Where is the lake and
    how do I find the launch?

    I had a feeling that the cold beer part was going to get more attention
    than the assistance part....8-) 


Directions to Lake Mascuppic


Tyngsboro is located off Rt 3, just south of Nashua N.H.

    From Rt.3 north or south, take the route 113 exit for
    Tyngsboro/Dunstable.  At the end of the exit ramp, follow the signs to
    Tyngsboro. 

    Follow route 113 to a set of lights.  The Tyngsboro bridge is directly
    in front of you; the Shurfine market is on your right.  Proceed over
    the Tyngsboro bridge. 

    After the bridge there is a fork in the road.  Bear right at the fork.
    This is Shurburne Ave.  You stay on Shurburne Ave for a couple of
    miles.  You are looking for Willowdale Rd, which will be a left turn.
    There may or may not be a sign. You will see the following landmarks: 

              -  Public golf course on both sides of the street
              -  Notingham St, which will be on your left
              -  Cochran Rd on the left with a house up on a hill.
                           
                WILLOWDALE ROAD, which is what you want.

               *If you see a street on the left called Bridal Path Way 
                and a big red barn, you have just passed Willowdale Rd.
                                            

    Take a left on to Willowdale Rd. and follow to the end.   The name of
    the street changes to County Rd as you cross the line into Dracut, but
    the road stays the same. As a landmark, St Mary Magdalene church is on
    the left. 

    At the end of what is now County Rd, take a left onto Tyngsboro Rd.  50
    yards up Tyngsboro Rd is a left turn for the public boat ramp.

    Lake Mascuppic is 209 acres and is only 10-15 feet deep in most
    parts.  There are two notable underwater rocks; both are marked
    with barrels.

91.6Sunday is betterSTAR::KMCDONOUGHFri Jul 29 1988 12:1520
    
    
    At 3 pm on Sat I'll be at the jam session being run through the MUSIC
    notes file.  I probably won't get back till 5 or so.  (BTW, if the
    weather is good, the lake will be mobbed at 3.) 
    
    But, I'll be there all day Sunday and y'all are more than welcome
    to stop by!  
    
    Most of my friends who ski go out Sunday morning (9 ish) before the
    lake gets too crowded.  I personally am a beginner as far as skiing
    goes, but there are some talented folks around (IMO).
    
    If any of you ski fans want to make the trip some Sunday, I'll round
    up the usual local suspects.
