One of the iconic experiences of the #AppalachianTrail is the canoe ferry across the Kennebec River. There’s even a white blaze painted on the side. Back in the day you had to ford it but the construction of a dam upstream ended that. Sudden releases of water cause the river level to increase two to four feet within minutes. No thanks. #hiking
