I launched from this landing |

Pavilion on banks |

A little upstream from here, on the bend, the current grew too strong to make headway Too much snow on the banks for portaging, so this is where I turned around. |
|
Adjacent to the launch- another pavilion |

The falls are just past this bridge |

Footbridge |

Ice build up on my paddle on return to the landing |

Back on land- ready for the Giant's game tonight! |
