cattle landing parking
The parking at Cattle Landing is fairly uncomplicated on weekdays and
usually negotiable on weekend mornings early. The trip to the Dollies
takes me only 10 minutes by freestyle canoe (solo) from Cattle.
Leavitt Beach is also an official canoe put-in and you can head out
to the Beaver Islands, another favorite excursion of ours. We (myhusband,
daughter and I wrote and illustrated a handbook for paddlers about the
shoreline trees and wildflowers of Bear Island. We are currently about
to publish a handbook for the Dollies. These are totally free of charge-
we had so much fun doing the research and hope that the handbook
might impress touring folks with the richness of the big Lake's wildlife.
The handbooks are availabe at Wild Meadow Canoe and Kayaks in Center
Harbor. I could also send you a copy if you wish. Did you attend the
LRCT Canoe Regatta out of Leavitt Beach in 2000? There is a small
army of paddlers on this lake!
