| Middle Stewiacke River Run Saturday, July 8th, 2023 Photos: Bernie McKenna  Our group consisted of five canoes, two kayaks, twelve paddlers – and one Jack Russell Terrier!  One of the two active Bald Eagle nests we saw. |
We were expertly led on this trip by our own HFN member Gareth Harding, and well led we were.
Gareth made a great choice as to river route site, good water flow and level, lush vegetation from water level to tree top, and a gravel bar lunch spot that even had a swimming hole in a back eddy. Several species of bird life were seen. I suspect everyone’s highlight was a colony of 30 to 40 Bank Swallow nest tunnels – that brought back a lot of memories of days when they were much more common We were on the water by about 11:30 and off by 3:30 or so, lunch and swimming included. Great day all around, from the river, the scenery and the company. It could not have been better.
