点评:We rafted the 2.5 hour trip in July 2024. This was a repeat of the trip we took in June 2023. This time the water level was very high due to a lot of rain the previous day. It wasn't truly "white water" dangerous, since the river is rarely more than 3 feet deep. But it was a serious test of paddling skill to keep the raft from running into trees on the banks and impaling the crew on overhanging trees and bushes. Since we had four adults with two experienced paddlers, we completed the run in about 2 hours, with only two serious encounters with the trees. Sweet!
The photo is of the two pileated woodpeckers we saw in a dead tree. Don't take a good csmera on this trip, I used my old cellphone in a waterproof case.
If you don't have any experience with paddles, you will get tired of pulling yourself out of trees and getting out of the boat to free it from sand bars. Find an easier trip. But if you have some experience and want to test your skills, this is the trip to take. This company is very courteous and professional. I highly recommend Sturgeon River Paddlesports.
翻译:我们在 2024 年 7 月进行了 2.5 小时的漂流。这是我们在 2023 年 6 月进行的旅行的重复。这次由于前一天下了很多雨,水位非常高。这并不是真正的“白水”危险,因为河水很少超过 3 英尺深。但这是对划桨技能的一次严峻考验,以防止筏子撞到河岸上的树木并将船员刺入悬垂的树木和灌木丛中。由于我们有四个成年人和两个经验丰富的桨手,我们在大约 2 小时内完成了这次漂流,只有两次与树木严重接触。太好了!
照片是我们在一棵枯树上看到的两只大斑啄木鸟。这次旅行不要拍好照片,我用的是装在防水壳里的旧手机。
如果您没有划桨经验,您会厌倦从树上爬出来并下船将其从沙洲中解救出来。找一个更轻松的旅行。但是如果你有经验,想测试一下自己的技能,那么这次旅行是值得的。这家公司非常有礼貌,也很专业。我强烈推荐 Sturgeon River Paddlesports。
