I've been there several times. My wife has run road races over that bridge!

There's a town in the Adirondack Mts of NY where we go grocery shopping in the summer. Two branches of a river come together just north of the town. Just downstream of the confluence the average discharge of the river is about 250 cubic feet per second. The highest discharge was in 1929 at about 820 cubic feet per second. Last night the discharge was over 1200 cubic feet per second. :shock:
