Скачать или смотреть Canoeing the Ana River - Summer Lake Oregon - High Desert - May 2023

I had an amazing time canoeing down a section of the Ana River for approximately 3 miles. It is the shortest spring-fed river in Oregon. The culverts at the head of the river carry water for about 400' from the spring-fed Ana reservoir into the river. The little waterfalls around the head of the river are spring-fed as well. I paddled my 33 lb. canoe like a kayak using a double-bladed paddle. It was super quiet, just the sound of birds, trickling water and my paddling. I saw fish, snakes, frogs, dragonflies, an owl, lizard, beaver (or muskrat), red-wing black birds and a trumpeter swan. Over the last 25 years I have paddled dozens of creeks, rivers and lakes in Oregon and in my opinion this river has the most beautiful water I have seen. I spent half my time looking down in the water mesmerized by the vivid colors and clarity. Snake at 5:16. Beaver or muskrat at 13:15.
