這段河可以劃船的距離比較長,上下一劃很快幾個小時就過去了。河麵看似平靜,水流還是有些速度的。有一次大家歡聲笑語地往下連劃帶漂一小時,結果回程連吭哧帶聽埋怨,近兩個小時才扒拉上來回家吃晚飯。於是知道了這河裏劃船也最好是先苦後甜,有勁時先往上遊劃。如果先往下遊劃,要留足回來的體力和時間。
老北橋(Old North Bridge),這個在1775年4月18日見證了美國邁向獨立第一步的小木橋,就橫跨在這段河上。每年四月的愛國者日(Patriots' Day),民兵國家公園沿途的鎮都按當年那天的時間化妝重演那個曆史事件。對曆史感興趣的同學可以到民兵國家公園的網站細看: A Revolution begins - A Nation is born.。

春天,河上滿目的嫩綠和著樹叢裏的鳥語讓人忘返:

順帶提醒也想下河看看的朋友,景色秀麗但水火無情。下河一定要注意安全,會不會遊泳都要穿救生衣,單獨下河時帶個哨子,有萬一時好叫人。千萬不要不在乎,看看下麵的河上救援實況吧,船怎麽翻的不知道,要是他們出事在沒有其它人過往的河段... … 會怎樣?:

大家也抽空多去河上看看 (上麵春天的照片是上周末,夏天的是前兩年的)。
