| Millville Rapid |
Jonathan is up in Maine, I hadn’t heard from Bill, and I needed to go run some errands for my parents, so I decided to stay local and paddle at the Blackstone Gorge. Its a nice up-and-back trip for these COVID-19 times.
The parking lot was empty when I arrived at around 8:30, but full when I got back at around 11:00. The river was 3.5 on the Northbridge gage, 7 ft., 275 cfs on the Rt. 122 gage – plenty of water for the paddle up to the Millville Lock. I had to walk my boat though the shallow water below the Millville Rapid, but the rapid itself was fine. I tried to carry my boat up to the top of the rapid, but the path under the bridge was completely overgrown, so I gave up half way up.
