Father and son were in the same canoe, Kneeland said on Monday, adding that the river was running high. Fish and Game Department responded to the scene of an overturned canoe down river of the Route 175 Bridge. Solomon noted that he had assisted in swift water training on the Swift River in Albany last week, and the water was 40 degrees. Both men swam to the east side of the river and were able to exit onto the shore, Ober said. State police, Fish and Game conservation officers and a state forest ranger also responded.
