April 2010 / Early spring

APRIL 2010

Our unusual winter has turned into a unusual and premature spring. Officially ice went out on the St. John and Allagash Rivers on April 2nd this year. The earliest I have recorded ice out in the last 15 years was April 10, there is less than 1 foot of snow in the woods and with a week of rain and warm weather predicted most snow will be gone soon.

Any paddlers interested in getting on the rivers early this season should go to the U.S.G.S. stream flow data site to check river flows before making plans. You can find a link to their site on our “Canoe Trips – Trip Planning” page and find the link. If you need further details and information we are glad to help by phone or email.

We are looking forward to the spring and summer canoe season and are anxious to see all of our returning customers and meeting new customers through out this year. Many returning customers have contacted us already this winter making plans for the coming paddling season.
