Paddling Deer River Flow

We had a nice group paddle today.  Eight of us explored Deer River Flow, where we had not paddled since 2018.  We put in off Cold Brook Road at the bottom of the map and paddled to the northwest end where the dam is.  














We were very surprised to see the area to the right of the dam set up with nice picnic tables and chairs.  The property is privately owned but paddlers are encouraged to use it.  It also has a very nice privy, complete with little battery driven lights, toilet paper, hand sanitizer and a Vacant/Occupied sign you flip before you enter.














The view from that area down the flow was great.











After lunch we explored the arm up towards Route 14, to the upper right on the map, before returning to our starting point, for a total of about 7.5 miles.
