We had a nice 7 1/4 mile round trip paddle on the river today. We put in at the Crusher and headed upstream toward the outflow from Follensby Pond. We figured paddling up to the dam at Follensby and then turning around would be a good length for a paddle. We waited to go until this afternoon because it was still only 50 degrees and cloudy in late morning. The sun finally came out and while the breeze was still cool, it was a beautiful paddling day.
We were in for a surprise when we got to the junction toward Follensby Pond. The beavers had been busy and while we might have been able to scramble over the dam, getting back into the boats in the deep water on the other side would have been difficult. So we decided to turn around.
