Speaking from my experience kayaking, mosquitos are a tiny bit more frequent close to water than say in the middle of a forest, but not much. The real multiplying factor are swampy terrains, particularly close to places like water locks[1]. I've been told that the reason mosquitos are in bigger numbers in those places is that this is where they lay their eggs.
