Has anyone paddled upstream from Harrisville Lake lately? My brother-in-law and I plan to start at the dam and paddle upriver 'till tired, then return. If time permits, we may take the woods road to Martha Furnace, or just poke around Harrisville ruins. (There are ruins, right? I have never been...and need to search a bit here.)
We intend to arrive at the lake in the early afternoon, due to work schedules.
I'm posting to find out about recent water levels, flow, etc. Are we out of our minds paddling upstream for a couple of hours? Oh, we will be in kayaks, an 11 foot Loon and a 12 foot...I don't remember, but both Old Towns. Typical rental types. We are somewhat experienced kayakers, and like to think we are in shape. Our wives may disagree...
On Edit, an afterthought, is there enough water to paddle all the way to Martha's Furnace Road? And is the bridge still there for a landmark?
Don't worry, I'll bring a camera and bug repellent...
Thanks in advance,
Bob
