Hit the Rite Aid for the last 5 rubber pool rafts they had.
Parked a car at Point B - Avalon Purple Playground and drove the crew and the rafts to the Point A - the Swinging Bridge. I rode a boogie board and the rest of the family each had their own raft. The river water was not cold at all and pretty clean. The rafts didn't have much issue in the shallower rapids, but my boogie board bottomed out alot and required short portages to deeper waters. Depth ranged from 6-36". We had the river to ourselves til we got past Lost Lake. Between Lost Lake and Avalon shelters the river was full of swimmers. Saw a few blue herons and had a peaceful float down the river for 2 hours. Kids enjoyed it. I brought glueless bike tube patches along and used them both. Unfortunately Elisabeth had the third flat of the day but luckily only had to walk to last 100 yards or so.
