Description
Rumor is that this section derives its name from a large glacial "pot hole" feature which has since filled in. This is a very popular run, in part because it has a wilderness feel, unusual for Southern New England rivers. The rapids are fairly continuous for the whole section's length. Flow info is estimated based on an observation from 2014. If you have more information please leave a comment
