Harrisville Pond in Waterford ??
That's a very bad day on the water and sadly, the day before Father's Day.

Maybe intentional, but probably not....the following two entries on the first page online the Courier-Post. They might need better front-page editing.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Richard Minteer of Westampton was in a remote part of Burlington County when he hit an overhanging tree limb around 12:15 p.m. Saturday.
The kayak overturned and Minteer fell into a swift current on the Oswego River. He then became entangled in some underwater tree roots, but was soon freed by his son and some other kayakers.
Minteer was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

Really sad. Our rivers can be dangerous.

This is tragic! Kayaking with his son one day before Father's Day, only to end like this.
With the Oswego being one of our most shallow rivers, it just goes to show how careful you really need to be.
