| Below Crystal Rapid |
It’s finally starting to warm up here in southern New
England.
It rained most of the day
on Saturday, which got the local crew thinking that we’d have some
paddling options on Sunday.
Unfortunately, even with the warm temperatures and rain, most of the
rivers are still iced over or have dangerous ice shelves along the banks.
One of the few exceptions was the
Crystal section of the Farmington River in CT.
I’ve run this section of the Farmington many times
before. It’s an easy class I/II
run with some rock gardens and a ledge at the end. There were some huge sheets of ice on the banks, but the
river itself was clear and ice free.
The put-in also has one of the best seal launching hills around. It was definitely nice to be out on the
water.
