River Description

Only one known descent. Length and gradient are estimations. Access at the put in is tenuous. Reportedly, this is a steep, narrow wood-filled rollercoaster ride that empties into the Sandy. The two guys who ran it are good friends of mine. One described the event as terrifying. The other, who happens to be a sponsored paddler and is regularly regarded as one of the best in the Northeast, called it a classic.
