I've paddled the Indian that drains Indian Lake in the Moose River Plains, and seen the Indian that drains Brooktrout Lake in the West Canadas, but what?! Another Indian River?

Yes it is another Indian river... outside the blue line.... this is up stream from Indian lake, (which lies inside the reservation) before it enters Ft Drum military res. I prefer the upstream ribbon. It's actually very similar to the 'O' in the headwaters. Just smaller. Lots of beaver dams and twisty flats

We've had a couple good snows this year but both were followed by mild weather. An uncharacteristic wet fall filled the river to nearly bank fall, leaving it still open while all the lakes are frozen. Add a new canoe into the equation and that makes for a good day to go canoeing.

She liked it just fine. Certainly not going to be a tripping boat for the two of us but fun to paddle.

Not a canoe in the snow - but how about a canoe in the rain with snow in the distant background? This is from my upriver trip on the nearby Snake yesterday. First time going up this stretch, which I have been down many times - but not my last. Actually, I was told that what I was experiencing as rain was falling as snow above the canyon rim.
