AFT
Thanks to this crew this part of the river is navigatable.

BEFORE
I paddled yesterday and came across this tree which had fallen totally across the river in about 3-4 ft of water. It’s no more than a 10 minute paddle upstream from the Knights of Columbus in Tewksbury. I was able to swing my kayak parallel to it, then stand on the tree, pull my kayak over, then parallel again, and then with the help of a few strategic branches was able to get back in and didn’t get my feet wet, but I’m sure in a group there would be casualties.
Thank you Barbara
As all of you paddle, please alert SRWA of safety issues. raf14@cornell.edu: shawsheenriver@gmail.com
