Rivers Edge Park to Bernon from Erik Eckilson 

"I was back at Rivers Edge Park yesterday to do some poling on the Blackstone. I was there last Tuesday with the Blackstone Valley Paddle Club paddling downstream to the Manville Dam. Yesterday, I brought my poling boat and poled up to the Bernon Bridge. The water was as low as I have ever seen it - almost too low for pushing up the drops, but nice on the flats."  Erik

The Adirondack Scenic Train picked us up along with our boats and gear and took us to the Thendara Station where Tickner's Canoe shuttled us back to our cars.  Thank you to Henry Dziadosz for leading this week long trip.  It was a beautiful week in Adirondack State Park !      (Enjoyed by 13 paddlers)
