Last weekend was River Fest 2008 - a celebration of the Wild & Scenic Rivers: Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord. Only a portion of these rivers is considered Wild & Scenic (a federal designation) — for the Assabet it stops at the Damonmill dam.
Hanging out on the river in my kayak, I photographed OAR’s River Quest - a kind of combination family paddle / scavenger hunt on the Assabet River. You can find the whole gallery of images from River Quest 2008 on the Organization for the Assabet River’s web site.
The river was very low this year…
This is “Dove Rock”.
Two River Questers make their way down the river…
A great blue heron at Egg Rock snags itself a fish.
