Taste of Three Rivers

Paddled a bit of Concord's three rivers yesterday  with a group of Souhegan River Watershed Association paddlers down from neighboring New Hampshire.  After launching near Egg Rock, where the three rivers join, the group traversed a portion of the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord rivers, in that order.


Along the lower Sudbury this foraging fawn was encountered...

Attesting to the ongoing drought were several items that'd been formerly submerged.  One was this boat propeller...

...another this hardhat found snagged on a tree branch...

...and this milk bottle from yesteryear found a little upstream of Concord's Old North Bridge...

The group ventured north on the Concord as far as Great Meadows Landing where some hiked the dike trails before making the trip back to Egg Rock.

The day's gathered trash gathered hullside before exiting the river...
