PADDLE: Station Rd. to Rockside Rd.

We will put in just above the site of the old Canal Diversion Dam–recently removed due to efforts spearheaded by Friends of the Crooked River—so for the first time in decades a current will greet us at our put-in. We’ll paddle through the site of the old dam and then the Pinery Narrows, site of a heron rookery and an active (?) eagle nest, and past the confluences of Sagamore and Tinkers Creeks. A rocky rapid below Stone Road adds excitement before our take-out at Rockside Road. Only for paddlers who can control a boat in moving water.

7.9 miles, about 5 hrs
