We were headed over to Five Island for lunch today and just as we came out from Lower Hells Gates in a very strong current we saw this little deer swimming across a wide section of the Sasanoa. We thought it might need help but it made it to shore on its own.
This map shows where we first saw the deer.
Here are a few other pictures of the little deer.

- It was not clear if the deer was going to make it all the way.
- The little deer got to shore just fine
