Fall in Northern New York

Fall is my favorite season in New York.  Every weekend in September and October there is a great class IV/V dam controlled river to paddle on (thanks Chris Koll, Pete Skinner, and American Whitewater).  I kicked off the fall dam release season with runs on the Raquette River and Moshier section of the Beaver. 

Saturday I found myself doing lap after lap on the Raquette.  I just could not stop it was too much fun.  Sunday I ran the Moshier section of the Beaver River, which is the gem of the Beaver river system.  Sunday was the only day the Moshier section will run all year so I motivated for 3 laps down the 4 mile run.  Monday I went back to the Raquette for another 4 laps. 

 

 I only got a couple of pictures because I was too busy paddling. 

 

Next week it’s on to the Eagle section of the Beaver.  Yahoo !
