Kayaking and paddle boarding on Morses Pond is a great way to relax and enjoy one of Wellesley’s outdoor resources. We highly recommend taking advantage of this low-cost way to have summer fun in town. To make the most of your experience, choose a calm day with little wind, wear plenty of sunscreen (a hat and sunglasses wouldn’t hurt, either), and bring along some water.
