Description
Park in an open lot on Chestnut Street. Take out on the lawn of a retirement home. Be aware the back gate of the home gets locked at night after 8:00 PM.

You can also take-out below Middlesex Dam by climbing thru the woods on river-right just below the dam and hopping the fence to get to the Chestnut Street parking area. Note 4/11/03: Graham Fitter reports that the fence was highly charged! Rob, Ken and Graham all got pretty big shocks when they tried to climb over the fence having run the dam. The lights surrounding the parking lot are probably responsible.
