Drawdowns of Mascoma Lake likely make this section runnable in the fall. For some hairy stuff, check out the Downtown section.

I was scouting the lower part of the Mascoma yesterday, near where it splits into 2just before the riverside Grill restaurant and saw a large tree blocking the usual passage going right. this is going to be impassable at most paddling levels and will need to be walked around or bypassed by taking the left channel whose status wrt trees I am not sure. also, with the heavy recent rains, there are sure to be more trees down in the upper reaches; so anyone going on it should take care. If I paddle/scout it soon and see anything, I will post.

Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The United State Geologic Survey discontinued reporting flow and stage levels at their gage station located at the Mascoma Lake out flow.  The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services took over the gage shortly thereafter and started posting information at their site.  Click Here.

The only reason I put a maximum level in is because of strainers on the banks. The actual difficulty of the whitewater does not change much (just a little pushier and fewer rocks).
