Location Information
Kingston Pond
The Location: Located on West Main Street (runs parallel to Rte 111) in Kingston State Park, Kingston, NH. There is a dirt parking area located across from the park entrance (between West Main Street and Main Street/Rte 111. This is the meet spot. To get to the pond, follow the paved road into the park, and bear to the left onto the dirt road at the small green shack. The pond is just up and over a small hill.
The Swim: From the beach, look across the pond toward the home at roughly 11 o'clock. You will see a shallow water marker (red and white stick), which is roughly 1/4 mile from shore. Swim to this point, and spot a slide on a floating dock towards the homes towards your left. To the slide and back is just under a mile. Water temperatures are in the mid to upper 60s. No wetsuit needed!
Wallis Sands State Beach
The Location: Located on Rte 1-A in Rye, NH. This is a state park, parking will be free til 8pm. However, as of 6/24, they have been closing the park at 530pm, so park just south of the entrance at the first scenic turnout. The meet spot is the picnic tables on the grass, in front of the building.
The Swim: From the beach, the group typically swims south until the rocks, and then turns around to head back. I am not exactly sure of the distance, but it could be ~.75 miles down and back. The beach entry is a sandy bottom. Water temperatures in the mid 50s. Wetsuits advised.
Jenness Beach, Old Beach Access Path
The Location: The beach access path is located on Old Beach Road in Rye, NH. It is near address 68 Old Beach Road. Parking: If signage says no parking, then don't. If signage says no parking on pavement, don't let your tires hit the pavement. They ticket quick in Rye! The meet spot is on the beach at the end of the access path.
The Swim: The group swims south, out and back. The Rye Beach Club, at the southern end of Jenness is just shy of a mile one way. The beach entry is a mix of rocks, and sand. Be mindful of the bottom entering, and exiting the water. Rip currents could exist. Seldom seen at Jenness, we have seen 2 this year, at the typical put in location on the beach. Always swim parallel to the shore line to exit a rip current. Water temperatures in the mid 50s. Wetsuits advised.
Safe swimming this season.
Remember- always swim with a buddy!
