FLORIDA â Typically, a 10-mile rafting journey down the Deerfield River can take around six hours. But, last week, Eli Cantanzaro, a guide for Zoar Outdoor, said he made the run in about an hour. And after another series of downpours, the Deerfield River has shown little sign of slowing. At the Fife Brook Dam on the Deerfield River, which usually has scheduled recreational whitewater releases, flows have exceeded station discharge capabilities and spill gates are in use. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, the water flow was over 4,600 cubic feet per second, more than five times the typical rate. GILLIAN JONES â THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE
