Saturday was sunny and warm. Sunday was cloudy and cool. Guess which day I got to go paddling.
After a slight mix up at the put-in location, we met at the
Alton Dam around 10:15. I was
afraid I’d be doing this trip alone, but we ended up with four boats – me, Jim,
Eric C. and Donna. We put in below
the Alton Dam and headed downstream.
It was cloudy and a little cool, but still nice. River was at a nice level - 3 feet, 500 cfs on the Wood River Junction gage.
On the Wood River below the Alton Dam the river twists and
turns though a pretty woodland. Things
open up when the Wood River joins the Pawcatuck about a mile downstream. We ran the broken dam on the right, and
stopped for a quick snack at the Burlingame Canoe Campsites before heading down
to Bradford. It was another nice
day.
