Recently while scouting the river for the upcoming 2011 canoe kayak and rafting season a bald eagle was spotted on the Little Miami River.  Bob Allbery, Judd Platenburg and I were paddling our 9 mile trip and saw a mature bald eagle just North of the Route 725 bridge.  We are hopeful that a nest may be in the area.  Bald eagles were spotted on the Lower River last year, but as far as I know this is the first sighting on the upper river.

On Sunday March 13 we took our first trip down the River to check out conditions for the upcoming 2011 season.  There have been three high water events during the late winter -early spring season.  These “floods” move around the numerous trees and log jams, sometimes helping with the overall free flow of the river and sometimes leaving trees blocking the river.  Our main section of River from Bellbrook back to our location is in pretty good condition.  We will remove the few problem areas early this week, as lower water levels combined with warmer conditions will allow us to work in the River.

While we had high water levels over the weekend (check out our facebook page for details and pics), this is normal for this time of year but we will be ready for business this spring, and look forward to seeing you on the Little Miami River.
