The closer the better. 2 hours means planning a day. 10 Minutes means planning a short drive. 2 minutes means going whenever you feel like it. Paddling without wasting a lot of gas getting there is another bonus. I used to live within a couple of hundred meters of the beach and could carry the kayak to paddle. Now I have to load up the car just to drive the five-ten minutes to a put in (or longer if I want to avoid usurious parking fees). > half-a dozen of miles from Rockies makes a difference.

This leads to precipitation.
