Here's a link to video of the Concord at about 1600 cfs. It's a crude edit but will give you an
idea of the rapids. It shows all 4 rapids, the last one is a bit messed up cause the camera tilted
up, sorry :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOQrqgUJ0pI Edit

The tree at the bottom of the island has moved a little. There is still a path on the left channel.
If it moves more it will block path through. Right of the island may be a better path, but I could
not the upper eddy on the other side to make that determination. Please be careful.

There is a new strainer on the Concord this weekend. It is at the bottom of the island and reaches
most of the way across the river. The wave that is in the right channel that everyone likes to surf
is blocked by the tree. The best route is to go left of the island; there is a channel next to the
tree that is clear. It would appear that the tree is probably not moving anytime soon unless we get
more rain and the river comes up again. It would not take much to block the channel that is now
open. Kevin Lindberg

There is a timber sticking up out of the water blocking the sneek route at the middlesex dam. Edit

March 29, 2008. The strainer is cleared now. You can pass both sides of the island clearly.

Jan 08. There is a river wide strainer in the third rapid, where the river splits around an island.
The strainer is in the right channel and is from bank to bank. Edit
