Fun little float

ReporterWill Wright

Flow: 425 cfs
Boat: Esquif Adirondack
Time on water: 3 hrs.
Put-In: Mill Dam Park in Freeville
Take-Out: Flat Rock before the pedestrian bridge (and before the low-head dam)

MDP to Etna: Lazy river float with a single set of Class I riffles just before getting into Etna. Multiple river-wide strainers; one requiring a portage.

Etna to Rt 13 Bridge: Some of the channels in braided sections looked like they had strainers during road-side scouting, but easy to pick clear channels from the water.

Rt 13 Bridge to Take-Out: One river-wide strainer requiring portage just a couple bends below the Rt 13 Bridge. Other than that a clean, easy run.
