Paddled to end of Brandy Brook Flow on Cranberry Lake today. Felt a bit disorineted until I realized that all the fishing shacks that I had been seeing for the last 20 years were gone. Late November 2007, the last time I paddled Brandy Brook Flow, nothing had changed.
Checking with local people in Cranberry Lake I determined that the DEC had removed them this winter and spring. The floating dock foundations of most shacks have yet to be removed as they were encased in ice in the winter. However, the plan is that everything will eventually be removed.
Knew that this was in the works, but it sure looks different; and I must say better overall. Seem to remember an interview with Clerance Petty talking about his years as a Ranger at Cranberry Lake, and he had spoken about his trying to get the fishing shacks removed back then.
