A mostly easy paddle, with one spot (under the Rte 7A bridge, in the photos) where you either have to paddle hard or 'cheat'. In a skin-on-frame, low seat canoe (double bladed paddle) I had to pull into the eddy behind a rocky bar in the middle of the river and carry the boat to the upstream side of the bar where I could get back in and paddle on. (I've since learned that if I stay left, and then move out into the flow and paddle hard, I can get through in that boat; depending on water level, the rock bar can be pretty big, or completely submerged) Coming back is a fun ride through the inverted 'V' on the right of the rocks. From 50 yds down-river, my camo job works quite well, but when you get close, the cache is ridiculously easy to see, but probably only from the river. One could also get to this on a longer paddle from Maple Ave in Sheffield or from the Old Covered Bridge in Sheffield (about 9 miles one way). From Rannapo road it is about 3 ½ miles round trip. You might also be able to get to it by climbing down the bank from Rte 7, though I wouldn’t recommend it. There are a few strainers in the river, but nothing that can't be easily avoided.
There have been several iterations of this cache, as the spot is challenging, in terms of longevity, due to changing river levels and current, in addition to the usual environmental issues. 2020: let's how long this one lasts. Water is low now, but that will change.
