NWRI - Ammonoosuc 2. Littleton to Lisbon (mobile)
User Comments
maneuvering around submerged rocks was necessary. The section below the ledges in Littleton started
off with some class 3. We put in below the wooden foot bridge in the center of town and took out at
a large rock on the right above the buoys of the Lisbon Dam. It took us about 2 hours to cover the
total distance 17.4 km. This is a great run with high water levels.
