2) Cummington to Chesterfield Gorge (Pork Barrel Section)

Usual Difficulty I-III (may vary with level)
Length 7.2 Miles


River Description

Rumor is that this section derives its name from a large glacial "pot hole" feature which has since filled in.

This is a very popular run, in part because it has a wilderness feel, unusual for Southern New England rivers. The rapids are fairly continuous for the whole section's length.
