Paddling Bridge Brook Pond

It was a beautiful day, finally, so the two of us put in at Rock Island Bay on Tupper Lake and paddled across to the carry to Bridge Brook Pond.  We took the carry and paddled around the pond for a while. Since the water is so high, we got farther than we have in the past.  And we saw another beaver and lots of frogs.  We thought we would have the lake to ourselves, but there was a family camping there.  We paddled a total of about 8.5 miles, plus 1/2 mile of carrying, so we were too tired to paddle all the way to the end of the lake to see Bog River Falls.  So we drove down there instead, and boy is there a lot of water coming over.
