Bottom Moose



We have our own comic book know
Spring in New York State this year was not very epic; with little snow we had a very short spring season. A lot of the big runs that we were hoping to hit barely hit the gauges, and when they did, they were up for a very short time.

I hate to say this "but thank God for the dam on the Bottom Moose". For almost two months the power company was doing releases every weekend threw the months of April and may. These releases allowed us to have some good class 4 and5 rapids to run for a while.
It seemed like someone from the crew made it to all the releases this spring, which allowed us to make a short video of our trips on the bottom. It's kind of weird that there isn’t many people paddling this river, we probably only ran into a small handful of boaters on the river. If you haven’t paddled this stretch there is plenty for all. On the Bottom there is waterfalls, slides, and multiple lines on most rapids, so things never seem to get boring. The Team Special Ed crew seems to always spend five to eight hours on this stretch running all the different lines and rapids more than once. If you want to get more info on the Bottom Moose, check out American White Water for release dates, water levels, and for rapid descriptions.

So here is our short video of the Bottom Moose hope you enjoy it, and that it gives you the itch to go and explore this section.

See you on the water Riot Sally PP Twist
