Kayaking Stony Creek

Today we kayaked up flooded Stony Creek with ADK; the same trip we did with them exactly a year ago. See my post from last year for a map and description. As someone on the trip said, at high water it is like bushwacking by boat. Though the water was a bit lower than at this time last year, so we were able to paddle under the low bridge between the ponds.

We were excited to see our first pair of loons of the season.

This time we explored up Ampersand Brook until a blow down blocked our way. We're not sure how much farther we might have gotten otherwise. We floated over several submerged beaver dams.
