Wallkill River

What a beautiful day for a paddle.  I had done the Wallkill River once before but it was in really early Spring and everything was still dead.  Although the water level was quite low, the green Wallkill is gorgeous. We met at the diner at 9 and by the time we did the shuttle, we didn't get into the water until about 10:30.  Once on, it was a beautiful paddle.  We stopped at the old bridge (which isn't there anymore) and had a nice relaxing lunch before heading back out.  We stopped to play at the one "rapid" spot where I tried my hand at surfing.  I did manage to grab it once.  The other thing I noticed was that my boat is SLOW.  I had to constantly fight to keep up. All in all, a fantastic day!

Here is a video I made from the trip.
