This is a photo of Andrew Milne on an ottawa canoe adventure the Dam river below Jones Falls ( Morton Ontario) this river was nice and high and perfect for the trip we wanted to take. Boppa planned it a little longer than expected but it was great all the same.

These are Grumman Freighter canoes on the Matthews River in northern Alaska, U.S.A. They have a stern designed to put a small motor for propulsion.
The motors were removed for 'long lining' up this river. Some places were side and very shallow.
This area has steep canyons with several abrupt right angle turns. Going down stream with dangerous narrow water running straight into the cliff face makes it difficult.
I estimate the canyon length at about 1/2 -3/4 mile.
Going upstream with 'long lines' is also a trick.
The water really is translucent so the color is coming from the rocks below.
Perhaps rich in copper?

Piscataquis County has its own canoe race each spring, one week after the more famous Kenduskeag Stream race in Bangor. Compared to Bangor, ours is a low-key affair: shorter (8 miles); an 11:00 a.m. race start; usually fewer than 200 boats; and no live television coverage. Racers finish in Dover-Foxcroft, across the road from Foxcroft Academy.
In the photo above, the leading boats of the first group to launch approach the Piscataquis River bridge in Sangerville, a short distance below the Guilford launch site.
There was a seriously pink sunset going on - you can see its reflection. The curves of these canoes made me think of dolphins swimming in close formation.

This lake in the protected Eco Amazonia was filled with Anaconda and Piranha. I was quite nervous.
