Paddling with Rob in Forge Pond
Rob and I went kayaking today in Forge Pond (Brick, NJ) and up the Metedeconk River. It's a very nice paddle each time we go there. Defintiley a good place to check out if you can.

We went as far as we could in the open pond park of the river here. We were hoping there was a channel between here and the river itself, but there wasn't one. So we had to paddle through the weeds/grass in rather shallow water. but we made it!

On the other side of the bridge the river gets much thinner with a LOT of growth. We didn't make it too much further past this point.

The only way past this is to get over a log. Rob almost didn't make it

This was as far as we got. Right past this section contained numerous trees down across the river. Time to turn around and come back.
