Finding new playspots close to home!
5 05 2008Zachary and I took a drive into Northern New York looking for something new to play in.
From Cornwall, we did not feel like driving as for as Watertown (which is definitely in right now) so we looked at rivers near us. The Salmon river is empty, The Raquette River is going down fast but we came across a little gem of a wave in St-Regis, New York on the St-Regis River directly off hwy 37 and all of 30 minutes from home.
Fast and smooth with a curling shoulder it made for a good couple hours for the 2 of us.
We have not heard of it before so Zachary has decided that it should be named “who da man?”.
A great little wave with no hazards below will make for an excellent place to bring the family or young friends in the future.
Another nice thing is that it is alway there. Early spring, summer and fall.
There is also a chip stand upstream to calm the belly if it starts rumbling!
We will definitely be bringing the family back there.
See you on the river,
Robert
