Today we went farther north to paddle a section of the Racquette River that we hadn’t done before. A little bit of sun soon turned into mostly cloudy but no rain. We did see some other paddlers but for the most part we had the river to ourselves. Found a couple designated campsites that looked intriguing.

oh look, another beaver dam! This dam was built to hold back water in a side pond

7.5 miles round trip with one rest stop along the way. Nice leisurely paddle. Water level was above normal.
