Re: Where can you ski around Boston Harbor?
Hey someone else from Boston on the forums!
We live in Braintree and we launch at the Braintree Yacht Club on the Fore River. Just down the river a bit it opens up into a large cove that's great for watersports at high to mid tide. Do you know where the Bridge Street bridge is, the one next to the USS Salem? Go under that and you'll be in the river, just around the corner is the cove. You could look it up on Google Maps. It's usually very quiet, but it isn't necessarily pretty, there's a lot of industry around the river. Also, at high tide it's only about 8 or 9 feet deep, at low tide the max depth you're gonna see is 3 feet in the cove.
Another option is the Weymouth Back River. I don't know if you would want to use that, however, because it is quite a long trip in from the Harbor to where you would be able to ski in the river.
Those are nice quiet areas that would be good for a first time skier, you could try around Grape and Slate Islands, but there's always so much traffic in the channel near by.
