Poultney Slide (2nd drop)

Before you get to the slide you have some flat water and ripples to go through. You will know that you are approaching the slide when you see a giant railroad bridge. This can be another access point as well. (I can't remember the road name but if you jump back on Rt. 4 towards New York you will pass over a bridge (the first drop) and turn right onto the first road you see; go down until you pass railroad tracks. Park along the road and hike on the tracks (be careful). Cross the bridge and make your way down to the water via an old path on the right hand side.) To scout the slide, eddy out on river right under the bridge. Walk along the rocks in the center until you see the slide. To run this rapid, head out of the eddy, and paddle straight down stream. You will reach the slide and head down. As soon as you are off the slide there is an eddy on river left with, a strong eddy wall. If you keep heading down stream follow the white water. The river makes a J shape after the slide. The rapid ends with a shallow hole that likes to flip people and scuff up their helmets. After the hole, eddy out river left to run safety or watch your buddies.
