By June 1st the river was already dropping a bit, but we can still access the floodlands for a couple of weeks yet.

On this day I paddled west down to Cooney Bay.  There is no beach at high water and the shoreline is packed with floating logs.    The high water extends up the Tranquille River outlet for 150 meters.

After kayaking through Cooney Bay, I paddled upstream through the floodlands

The bays were calm, except for the activity of waterfowl.

It is wonderful to paddle in the floodlands each spring during freshet.
