All of Piece Meadows - 6/5/11

Today, Chris and I headed out to paddle all of Piece Meadows.  We met at Two Bridges Road in Lincoln Park and loaded his kayak onto my truck then together drove up to Bloomfield Avenue.  The water level was really low, by several feet, and flowing very slowly.  We put in the river at around 8:00am.  The trip was a beautiful, relaxing paddle.  The entire trip, which was just under 13 miles, was fairly uneventful with the exception of one blockage that we had to portage.  We slid in the mud and got eaten alive by mosquitos but we were quickly back in the river and paddling on our way again.  We saw only a deer or two, a quick glimpse at an otter and a crane that we seemed to follow down river.



Here is the route we took
