Plainfield, NH (USA)

After work today (1600), I decided to go looking for kayak launch spots south of West Lebanon.  I followed NH-12A to the south and located a side road (River Road) that looked promising near the Edgewater Farmstead on the north end of Plainfield.  It was paved at first but soon turned to gravel.  After I passed the farms (there were three, all looked promising for Fall apple/berry picking) but then drove into a wooded area with almost no signs of human habitation.  Unfortunately, during this stretch I never saw anywhere that would allow me to pull off to launch a kayak.  There were plenty of places where I could easily see the (narrow) Connecticut River through the trees but I ended up turning back to the east after getting nothing out of the search except for a car covered in mud...  Thought about driving further south (to cross the river into Windsor) but decided against it.  Instead, made my way to NH-12A and used Google Maps (I was lucky to have a signal) to drive east until I found NH-120 - from there, I drove north to Lebanon.  The sun hadn't completely gone down yet, so I looked around for spots for kayak launching near the Mascoma River (didn't really have any luck).  After about two hours of exploring, I gave up and went home.  Will need to do some more research if I want to know where the locals get paddling time...
