The leaves begin to change, fall is here. Montgomery to silver springs is a nice 20 mile paddle. 10 miles, portage in yorkville, then 10 more miles. Put in point is The Montgomery Dam (shortly thereafter). The Take out is Shuh Shuh canoe launch. The portage at yorkville is pretty easy, paved path around the whitewater course. You could go through the whitewater, but I've not chanced it. Yet.
The first half 10 miles is one of my favorite exercise routes. It's local and fun and scenic.
But the second half really has some spectacular sights. Wall to wall with trees, and only slight road noise, you get a wilderness feeling very quickly. There's only one road bridge the entire trip, right by silver springs state park. If I live closer, that would be my exercise route.
