This weekend, one of the super fun activities I planned was to take a canoe down the Harpeth with Mom and Sissy. Well, combining Mom's fear of water with faster/deeper waters from lots of rain, it wasn't the most brilliant of plans.
That said, with Sissy's help as chief navigator and paddler, we survived our 5-mile journey down the Harpeth. We rented a canoe from Foggy Bottom, and it took about 90 minutes for our entire trip.
It was a gorgeous morning, and the river was quiet and very pretty! (And foggy... haha.) We ran aground a couple of times, but we found our way. I definitely see myself coming back with Duke or friends. Not a bad way to get a little arm workout and enjoy nature!
This looks fun! Oh, I want to go canoeing or kayaking again soon. 90 minutes isn't bad at all... *note to self*
ReplyDeleteIt took me like 40 minutes to get there from Franklin, but it's not far off the Interstate. And since we all fit in one canoe, it was just like $36 or something. Not bad!
DeleteI think it'd be really fun to pack a picnic, then take a break ashore to eat before continuing on. :)
