No boats at Blackwater



I recently commented on my visit to the Blackwater Conservation Area. One of the changes I noticed was repair of the deeply rutted spot where boats had been dragged down to launch. I had reported that mess and suggested that paving the spot with crushed limestone might stop the damage and allow for easer public access. I inquired about the repair and learned that boats are no longer allowed… broke up my fishing party. Oh, well, it’s a pretty area and I can still hike down to the river; maybe I could wade- fish a little. Portage from parking to launch in the river is much too far to carry a canoe.
