River DescriptionSource: Greg and Sue Hanlon's Steep Creeks of New England, which has more info on this run. Text used with permission.Directions: Park on the North side of Rte. 302 next to the highway bridge which crosses the Sawyer. From late fall through Spring it is necessary to shoulder your boat 3+ miles upstream to the hikers' lot, which is the normal putin. Hey: sometimes you gotta want your whitewater! The dirt road is usually open to the public during the Summer (when there is usually no water.) Go to the National Forest Services "Forest Road Status" to find out if and when the access road is open. The first known run of the Sawyer was April 24, 1992, by Boyce Greer, J.J. Valera, Greg Hanlon, and friends after scouting and removing several trees at low water." Hanlon cautions that the Sawyer tends to collect logs. "Beware!"
The Sawyer River is among the best class V runs in all the northeast. The continuous steep gradient over and around massive boulders will challenge the best paddlers. StreamTeam Status: verified
