Ottaquechee River
7-14-06 VERMONT: Happy Birthday, Siobhan. Its summer, triple H and 90’s.
We canoed at North Hartland Lake which is part of the Ottaquechee river. The lake is made by a flood control dam about a mile upstream from the confluence with the Connecticut. Yesterday they had water levels five feet higher than usual from four inches of rain and the bushes around the shore line were muddy to the level of the flood. The water was quite muddy from the deluge. The park service dropped the level after the rain stopped. We paddled a couple miles upstream and saw two muskrats swimming near the shore and on the way back two blue herons. I got some pix of both. Its another canoe spot, nearby, and pretty quiet.
