On Sunday August 14, 2016, a group of 6 of us met at the Berry's Ferry boat ramp for Sunday Funday. Hottest day of the year = best time to be on the river.
We had 1 SUP, 1 canoe and 4 kayaks with us. This is probably my favorite run in the area for an all day paddle.
We started roughly just before noon and paddled over 9 miles in just under 6 hours. I'm estimating because my tracker wasn't working properly and I didn't stop it for breaks.
About 1/3 of the way into the trip there is a spring fed waterfall/swimming hole on the left just past the 1st set of wires that cross over the river. You can hear the waterfall from the main part of the river. The waterfall/creek is called Spout Run and is ice cold compared to the river. Very much needed after being out in the 100 degree heat.
As is the case each time I've been on this portion of the river, we saw a couple bald eagles. We were able to get pretty close to them as they hung out in the trees on the side of the river.
