Description
A few miles downstream of the popular 'tubing' stretch of the Apple River in Somerset) the river enters a backwater from a dam. Most of the flow (most of the year) will be diverted through a penstock into a power plant for hydropower generation. When flow exceeds capacity of the penstock and generation demand, water may be allowed in the normally bypassed reach.
At least one good ledge (and it appears there may be more) could create some whitewater interest. We have no specific awareness of any runs of this reach. Anyone having more boater-specific info is encouraged to help your fellow boaters out by providing a comment or report! Are there more ledges? Or is this it?

Shuttle Info
Since this is a fairly short reach (just about a half-mile) if/when it is boated, it will most generally be a park-and-play, walking the obvious 'shuttle' back to your vehicle.
