This site is really thorough and well-organized: https://www.newenglandwaterfalls.com/ The following page from the website has pictures of the top 40 waterfalls of New England. I've seen some of them and canoed upstream many times to the base of 40-foot Grand Falls on the Dead River, Maine...

. . . to which at least @ppine and @recped had replied. There was nothing wrong or against the rules about the subject matter of the thread or the replies. It's just that, very coincidentally for administrative reasons, I don't want LLM AI bots reading or cataloging that subject matter. Sorry...

Nine of the places involve rivers or lakes, and the other one involves views of them plus lots of frozen water in winter.

"So, what is FreeStyle, and what is the difference between Functional FreeStyle and Interpretive FreeStyle? One of the best definitions of FreeStyle is ‘The art and science of precision canoeing.’ That definition is a catchy phrase and quite accurate, but it requires more discussion."...

. . . what happens when you are hut challenged.

Yes, although the air will be darn cold. But won't the water be frozen? No, not if the water is salty enough. What water? How about the ocean? Nah, it's only about 3.5% salt and we all know it freezes at about 29° F (-2° C). So we better find some really salty lakes. How about the Great Salt...

@Gamma1214, in his Bloodvein II build thread, recently sawed off a protuberant strip along the edge or corner where the top of the hull sharply bends in so as to narrow the gunwale beam. Thereupon, his build thread began to diverge into a discussion as to what this feature is called. Candidates...

I have a CCS 12' x 10' silnylon tarp, which I've always managed to pitch without poles in treed areas when canoe camping. I use a ridgeline between trees and manage to stake out the sides to something. I own no tarp poles. Now, all my canoeing is done via car access base camping. There are...

Do you remember Ron Popeil and his late night infomercials for Ronco products? Having not fished since the 1950s, I'm wondering whether a pristine Ronco Pocket Fisherman would be a good emergency fishing doohickey for amateur anglers on a canoe trip. I can also get a Ronco Chop-O-Matic...

I'm not a fisherman, much less an ice fisherman, but I got interested in this YouTube short I encountered about pumping air under ice to prevent fish kill. Is this something people actually do or just another fake or AI video?

The Boreas Ponds have the reputation of having perhaps the most beautiful lake-in-mountain scenery in the Adirondacks. I've seen video. Historically, the ponds were a bit of a hike to get into with no campsite nearby. Last summer, @Conk told me the access, parking and camping situation has been...
