Additional Information:  If the water level on the East Branch is either to low for paddling or dangerously high, the event will be moved to the West Branch of the Delaware between Hamden and Walton. We will then meet at the east side of the Covered Bridge, just off Rte 10 in Hamden. I will contact you if this option is needed. If we switch to this option, Al’s will not be able to rent you a watercraft.
