That day I was looking for a place to go kayaking that I never heard about before.  I scanned the map and found three places.  One place was on the Lamprey river.  The dam that held the water back to make the water deep enough was recently removed so I then went to Governors lake.  It seemed like a nice lake.  When I found the place according to the map to to get on the lake, there was a sign that said that it was deeded property and only townspeople can use that property.  I continued going around the lake and found another place to launch the kayak but it had the same sign.  Two lots down I saw a location to launch but the only sign was not to bring in any foreign weeds.  I always inspect my kayak before every launch for weeds.  Although there was no signs saying I could launch  there there was no signs saying I could not.  I put the kayak in the water hoping nothing would happen to the car.  As you can tell I had a bad first impression of the lake.  It did not improve as I went around the lake.  There was a number of large boats docked on the side of the lake.  I can imagine on weekends how crowded this lake must be.   I continued going around the lake and saw a number of upscale cabins or houses on the side of the lake.  I finally got back to the end.  The car was alright.  I was ready to try the next lake – Onway lake.
