I can officially declare that the 1½ mile stretch of the
Hockanum River, from Rt. 74 Water Vernon Treatment Plant is OPEN!! This morning (May 3, 2015) Rob and Carol
Grasis, Michelle Gentes (aka: river queen), Larry Morin and I canoed/kayaked this section in about 1 hour's
time. I also have to mention that my good friend Fred Kracke was out of town, but he does deserve a mention.
Thanks to Fred and all the Blueway Volunteers that have helped in the past to get this section of the Hockanum
River cleared of trees/brush and stuff. This section is now "relatively" clear of "obstructions" which need to
be [cleared]. - Jerry Kinsman
