Manville Dam - January 6, 2023

I was camping on New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t do my traditional New Year’s Day paddle this year. I finally got out today for my first trip of 2024 - stroke practice in my whitewater boat down at the Manville Dam. When I arrived I was surprised to find the cove near the boat launch iced over. I was able to break through the ice and get out into the open water above the dam, and spent about an hour practicing strokes before calling it a day.  Not much, but the start of a new year!
