Paddle Seine River, Dumoulin Park to Morier Park

June 4, 2025
Grey Hares / NOVICE

Notes:
On June 1 we observed the Red River from Esplanade Riel. It is high – almost up to the River Walk.
We also observed the Seine River from the Dumoulin Park launch site, 700 metres from the Seine's mouth at the Red River. It is fairly high. The current was very slow because of the high water level on the Red River.
