Cedar River Flow

September 1, 2008

So the whole family went out on Cedar River Flow on Labor Day. Wakely Dam put in had 5-7 cars but with the size and the variability in shoreline and inlets and neat areas to explore it certainly did not feel at all crowded. Sandy bottom! Pretty easy to pull up to shore and snack and swim and explore. It was a bit windy when we got there so we decided not to try to head all the way down the Cedar River to the lean-to for fear that it might be too much of a struggle to get back against the wind. Instead we opted for checking out Buell Creek, which is only navigable for a short distance, but is very fun and had nice sandy bars and deep pools to play in. We saw frogs and newts and fish. We saw great blue herons and loons on the Flow. There were several nice campsites and seems like a great place for an off season camping trip. Claire fell asleep in the canoe and slept for 40 minutes until we pulled ashore on a little beach where she immediately wanted to swim and jump off the big rocks... Fun was had by all.
