About the Lakeside Boat Launch

Guests may use our kayaks and canoes from May through October, subject to availability. Adult guests are invited to check out kayaks or a canoe to use on the lake. Guided "Pray and Paddle" events may be arranged for your group. We also invite you to try one of our "Pray and Paddle" contemplative retreats on Lake Cochichewick. We offer a contemplative, meditative paddling experience providing opportunities for deepening spiritually in the midst of nature.

Lake Cochichewick is a beautiful 565 acre natural body of water and the ancestral home of the Pennacook, who call it Cochichewick, which means ‘cascading water’. It now serves as a reservoir for the town of North Andover, MA. As a reservoir, there are no motorized boats and limited development along the shore. The result is a lake that lends itself to quiet, reflection and renewal.
