But it was my good fortune to have found a sterling candidateriver. Small, almost insignificant, the landing by sea is actually the first practical one along a course entering, or intending to enter, the great waterway to the north. It matches perfectly those conditions described by both Leif Ericson and Thorfinn Karlseffni that Leif's landing was a grounding in an attractive place and that Karlseffni's Hop river could not be entered except at high tide. The complex does just that, with two distinct rivers with different names. It is accessible and pleasant.
Fishing is popular.
The catch is likely to be salmon or even small halibut, just as in the Vinland Sagas. Visitors should be advised that some foot traffic is permissible at the lower levers near the river. These areas are preserved for wildlife and owned by varied wildlife organizations. All the upper levels away from the rivers are private property and owners are sensitive to intrusions on their property. If you go, please respect the subject of this study and the rights of property owners.
