Wilderness Tripping
Since 2001
Upper Napanee - Yarker to Camden East
A great beginer run. The only 'surprise' is the CI or CII at the first corner, but a paddle in the water and straight boat, it will be a clear run through.
You might see beaver, or muskrats. You are gauranteed to see birds... and you will also see the occasional decoy!
Points of Interest
This is a pretty short run. It is a nice float through for a season opener.
There is a CI at the beginning in Yarker, and another just before Camden East. In between, it is really just a float through keeping an eye open for wildlife alont the river.
There are the remains of an old dam for a mill in Camden East that is long gone.... all that remains are parts of the dam that create a modern play spot.
