Description

This is a rather long section of river that has lots of surf and play spots along the way caused by a series of low ledges. As the river takes a sharp left away from NH 25 the river drops into that largest and most powerful hole in this section. This hole can be very stickey depending on levels. Usually only the best boater will attempt. You can skirt the hole on the left. Further downstream for the next .5 miles you will encounter a series of easier holes better suited for most boaters.
