F Bridge to Clarence Bridge on the Sugar River
Is this a segment that no one paddles? We couldn’t find any trip reviews online; but it seemed doable for us, so we planned a shuttled paddle with our friends on a sunny early fall afternoon that was not too hot and not too windy. Continue reading F Bridge to Clarence Bridge on the Sugar River
