Winding River Campground hosts kayak and float trips, where you can drop in, paddle for hours, and then have them pick you up and drive you back to your car. Of course, you can also shuttle yourself if you're in a two-car group!

The Weymouth Furnance area is a great area to stop for a picnic halfway through your paddling day. There's a rope swing just upstream of the picnic area if you want to jump in and cool off. Be aware that the current leading up to the picnic area is strong and can be dangerous even for experienced swimmers, so stick to the shallower spot near the swing if you're swimming around.
