Paddling the Kunjamuk

Six of us had a nice paddle on the Kunjamuk River today. We launched off Route 30 at the "x" on the map at a put-in just past the parking area with picnic tables.We paddled across the bay and up the river to Elm Lake and back again for a total of about 8 miles. There were many beaver dams and W did a great job helping everyone and their boats over them on the way upstream. Then we got some good rides going over the dams on the way back. There were lots of things in bloom including pickerel weed,the neat buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis in the Rubiaceae), and lots and lots of cardinal flowers.
