7-6-13 Kayaking the Flooded Sand Bar Park

I  have been up the Lamoille River, this specific stretch a year ago when the rive and lake were at record lows.  Today it is at record highs, this launch point is usually 3 feet lower.

In this same spot the year before I could see the bottom, filled with mussels and could grab them off the bottom with my hand.  Now it is at least 6 feet deep.

So much so that the forrest surrounding it's mouth were flooded.  I was able to cross the original shoreline and in about 2-3 feet of water wander among the trees.

It was pretty damn cool.  And a little strange.

In the end I returned home and went for a bike ride as the sun set over Burlington.
