River Description

It's generally a Class 2-3 river at normal levels with the Class 2 warmup upstream of the Rt 32 bridge. At higher flows there may be rapids that are Class 4. The hardest rapid is Hell's Teeth. It has a hole that can get pretty nasty at higher flows.

There are two dams during the run. The first at the Rt 32 bridge you can generally slide over without any problems, but the second is portaged.

There is a hazard of 26 I-beams in the moodna just below the Jaws rapid and under the Old Forge Hill bridge. More details in the rapids description.

The Class 2 section above the Route 32 Bridge is a beautiful stretch of river and where you will see some wildlife.
