Fall Stream

August 28, 2008



Claire and I went on a wonderful paddling adventure up Fall Stream near Piseco, NY. It was absolutetly gorgeous and we didn't see another soul all day. We forded 6 beaver dams and were keeping company with a beautiful osprey most of the trip. It was a pretty narrow channel most of the time, with alder thickets and a pretty mucky bottom. We got to the very southern tip of the channel to Vly Lake and lost track of the navigable path. Only figured it out in hindsight looking at the aerial photos and in talking to some other folks who had paddled it earlier that week. A great trip and definitely one we will do again! We need to make it to Vly Lake where there are some nice places to get out. There are not many easy picnicky spots along most of the way so I was incredibly proud of Claire for enjoying the 5 hours in the kayak without complaint!
