Canoe Capsizes
« on: April 01, 2023, 07:15:41 PM »
Just a reminder, wear your life preservers. 3 in a canoe capsized this afternoon in Stamford, Delaware County NY.
1 got air lifted and NYS Trooper's Divers are recovering the other two.
I am not sure if they were fishing.

Take care

For folks, whom do not know, The West Branch of the Delaware River's headwaters is Stamford. The East Branch's headwaters is Grand Gorge, a few miles East of Stamford.
