Paddling at Blodgett Lake

Paddling at Blodgett Lake is a private, guest-only amenity for anyone staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake — two kayaks, a canoe, a rowboat, and two pedal boats are all part of the property, ready at the dock, not something to arrange or bring. The lake is small, quiet, and low-speed by rule, which makes it an easy, low-commitment way to spend an hour or an afternoon on the water without planning a separate outing.

Who this suits

Guests staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake who want easy, unplanned time on the water — families, casual paddlers, and anyone who'd rather step off the dock than organize a trip to a public put-in.

A plan that works

This is a guest-only property amenity — the kayaks, canoe, rowboat, and pedal boats are all part of your stay, ready at the dock.
Life jackets are available in a range of sizes and are recommended for anyone on the water, especially children — supervise kids closely near the dock and while using any watercraft.
Check the wind and weather before heading out. The lake is usually calm, but wind, rain, or cold can make it worth waiting for a better window rather than pushing through.
Return boats, paddles, oars, and life jackets to their place at the dock after use so everything is ready for the next guest.
If you want a bigger paddling day than the property itself offers, Nancy Lake State Recreation Area is the real regional destination — see that guide.

Drive and timing, honestly

No drive at all — the dock is part of the property.

What we won’t promise

We cannot promise calm water or ideal conditions on any given day — wind, rain, and cool weather are all normal reasons to wait for a better window, not a flaw in the lake.
We cannot promise every piece of equipment is available or in identical condition on every stay — boats are shared across guests and the season.
This is a small, private-feeling lake, not a managed rental operation — there is no on-site staff running the equipment, just what's at the dock.

Practical notes

The property has a private dock, 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, 1 rowboat, and 2 pedal boats — all available to guests staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake, without needing to ask each time.
Life jackets in a range of sizes are available and recommended whenever using lake equipment, though not required by house rule — use good judgment, especially with children.
Blodgett Lake carries a 15 hp motor restriction, so there is no high-speed boat traffic to share the water with — the lake stays genuinely low-speed and quiet.
A small plane landing on the lake once in a while is a normal, occasional part of Blodgett Lake life, not a safety concern for paddling.
Loons nest on the lake in season — give any loon with chicks real distance and avoid paddling directly at them (see the property's own everyday-wildlife guide).
After use, return watercraft to the dock and paddles, oars, and life jackets to their storage spot so the next guest finds everything ready.
