It has been such a wet fall that the Thames River is flowing fast and deep through the city. Usually, by November the river is dropping fast and some areas of the river bed are lying exposed and drying. This cannot last and soon the river will be too shallow for even most canoes. Portaging season for this year is just about at an end.
Oddly enough, portaging around the Springbank Dam is hardly necessary. The gates of the dam have not been operational for years. The gates sit in the open position on the bottom of the river. A faulty gate design doomed the reconditioned dam before it officially entered service. The city sued and won a decision against those responsible for the design and construction.

It's getting to be that time of year.
