A Franklin business that offers excursions on three local rivers was focusing more on tubing and slower moving kayaks rather than the popular whitewater rafting on the Winnipesaukee River. Some stretches of the river were so low that one could walk across it.
Paddling trips on the Saco River were slower, too, taking about 25% longer than usual. Recreationists were warned that they may have to drag their boats.
