"The location and hospitality of the Chieftain Motor Inn, and the long miles of unspoiled
river make this place the best spot for summer rowing in the country. The nature around
you makes rowing not only a perfect physical activity, but also a very unique spiritual
experience" ~ Kris Korzeniowski The National Team Coach June 2008
