Rare 40's or 50's 17' Chestnut PLeasure $1K « Result #4 on Dec 6, 2009, 2:28pm »
Hey Friends:
December 6, 2009 ACT NOW or see this boat go.
Here is a real deal on a original 1940's or 50's Chestnut Pleasure Canoe 17' which had the canvas and gunnels done by Carl Jones in 1984 then placed in storage.
These come along only about once a year and rarely at this prive.
Currently Steve Jones has the boat at Great Spirit Canoes to recane the seats. The boat is capable of being sailed with dagger board. (paying attention Paul and Matt?)
This boat belongs to a friend Ian and I'd like to see it stay in NB, or go to an appreciative owner.
The price of $1,000 was suggested by Stephen Jones. If interested call Ian at 472.6628 loosen@nb.sympatico.ca

Lovemuffin,
Welcome to the board. I hope you do bring your boats with you the next time you make the trip up north.
Sometimes, well all too often, the rivers can be too low to paddle in the summer. There is a link to a water level gauge on the site for most of NB's rivers, and a water level reference guide to help you judge whether the level is right for paddling.
If you do run a river up here, be sure to post a report with us, we'd love to read your story.
Hi - Summer visitors « Result #6 on Dec 5, 2009, 8:55pm »
HI - My husband and I have a camp (near Heartland) in NB inherited from father. We come up usually twice a year, but would come more often if we knew more about paddling in area. Hubby skilled white water, but I am slacker and do not like more than class II with occasional III. We belong to some clubs in PA, NJ and like getting the shuttle help and area knowledge that brings. Interested in exploring this site and finding reasons for making the trip north.
In 1963, a Canadian military training exercise on the Trail went awry . In the exact spot where Geologist Gestner narrowly avoided death in 1847, seven Canadian soldiers went over the falls on the Eel River in a 300 pound rubber assault raft. Two soldiers were injured and five stranded on an island until rescuers arrived (14).

Re: Dennis Stream « Result #8 on Nov 25, 2009, 6:40pm »
not sure if I know the fella's you mentioned but I do no that dennis stream is one wild beast in the spring . I paddled it in a 15 ' old town . the section you mentioned after the covered bridge beat me up pretty bad . the worst section I carried my canoe down the train tracks to safer water. a few big trees across the stream to get around and lots of flooded banks. doable with balls of steel. I can't get my buddy's to even look at it. we do more canoe camping on the larger rivers around charlotte co. .As for mohannas and canoose they are about the same size as the dennis , Im guessing they would give similar conditions. will I try it again? not sure. streams that size don't give a canoeist much chance to stop and look at what's ahead .

Eel River raft trip by army « Result #9 on Nov 25, 2009, 10:32am »
I've heard the story about the Army folks who rafted the Eel River several years back from many different folks. No one seems to know what really happened. Apparently they went over the falls, then .....
Does anyone out there have any idea what the real story is?
Re: Dennis Stream « Result #10 on Nov 25, 2009, 6:19am »
If you're from that area and have paddled the Dennis, you must know Peter Brown. I met him this fall and have paddled the Waweig with him and my good buddie Kaelen, from Elmsville along the Digdeguash. Peter tells me the section after the covered bridge can get pretty wild. I'll be checking this out once spring rolls around. Maybe you could join us. We paddle the Dig quite often, as well as the waweig. Have you ever paddled the Mohannes or the Canoose? Are these fairly mellow streams?

I live close to dennis stream and I paddled all of it a few years back .this has to be one of the biggest thrills I've had . it was early spring,lots of water and a bit dangerous if your not fast with a paddle .

Hi Everyone,
Just registered here, I've been paddling for 2 years now, not a kayak or canoe, but a stand up paddle board. It's the newest paddling sport. I've been riding waves out at Mispec Beach, and New River. I also do a lot of flat water paddling on the Kennebecasis River in the Rothesay area.
I just became a dealer for Jimmy Lewis boards and if anyone would like to try out the sport drop me a note, I have one demo board on hand right now, and will have 2 or 3 more by the spring.

That looks like a sweet little run! Thanks for the video reminder that I should have been out paddling instead of striper fishing. I recognized the takeout at the beginning of the clip from the Digdeguash, that's a nice little run too. Going to have to check this out next April Derek
Re: Waweig River « Result #17 on Oct 19, 2009, 7:00pm »
Don't you worry Ken, the camera is always rolling... and I'm obsessed with rivers... I'll always post any new river vids. Perhaps someday we'll meet on the river and create a video for Nanook of the Nashwaak! Oohh it sparks my imagination already!
Waweig River « Result #19 on Oct 17, 2009, 9:04am »
Thanksgiving day, 2009. Myself, my friend Kaelen, and our new paddling partner Peter from Charlotte County paddled the Waweig river just east of St.Stephen. There was just enough water to paddle the whole stretch and the weather was fantastic. I could do a full explanation, but instead I made it into a video

Re: Cocagne River,11 Oct « Result #20 on Oct 13, 2009, 7:53pm »
We had a beautiful run, down the Cocagne River, We kayak from McLaughlin road to a mile passed route 115. Water levels was good and high, because of the good amount of rain we received. We have done this river for a number of years ,but it was my first time in fall and it was well Worth while. It took us about 2-3 hours floating time,with a average speed of 8 to 10km an hour we got to end too quickly. Hope to see you on the river some day! Steph
