| Kayaking Bellamy Reservoir |
This is a map ( from googlemaps ) of the Bellamy Reservoir. The starting point is marked (A). You can park your car and put in your kayak in no time. Your choices are left under the bridge towards to dam or right until you reach the end. If you have 2.5-3 hours you should be able to see it all. Don’t forgot to stop and look at the birds along the way. If you like to fish I have seen many people out fishing.
