12. Kayak the Mystic River
As the rivers around Boston warm up this season, grab your paddle and take to the waterways. Looking to navigate the Mystic? The Boston Sea Kayak Club suggests launching your kayak at Chelsea's O'Malley Park, Charlestown's Schraffts Boat Ramp, or Somerville's Amelia Earhart Dam. While hitting the water won't cost you, Kayak Club memberships are $10 for individuals and $15 for families.
