Description

Sandy Stream is a nice stretch of class II and III water when there is lots of rain or a lot of snowmelt. There are 3 main rapids which give the intermedate kayaker or whitewater canoeist a challenge. Note: though the reach description says "Freedom Pond to Unity Pond," there doesn't seem to be much gradient below the town of Unity, so the listed takeout coordinates are a road in town. Those who can't find a good takeout there, or who wish another mile of paddling, should head downstream to the pond. _Lat/longitude coords are approximate, from online maps._
