| What a difference a year makes
It just doesn’t get much better than this. A perfect holiday weekend forecast and perfect river conditions. Water temps along the Saco are approaching 70 degrees and the flow is at normal summer levels, about 500 cubic feet per second, (cfs) as measured near Odell Falls in Conway. The recorded river height near this location was 3.06 feet as of Friday. Most of us remember last “summer” and I use the term loosely as the weather was not very conducive for outdoor activities, at least not very often. Due to the torrential rain it was also one of the buggiest seasons I remember. Well, I am happy to report bugs have dissipated quite nicely. While out paddling during the day they are not an issue at all. I would bring the proper supplies if camping, like long sleeves and bug spray. During the evening, around the more wooded areas you may encounter a few bugs, but there’re really not a big deal at all. |
