Swift Diamond to Wentworth LocationClass III-IV
Gauge Information
Diamond River
River DescriptionAccess through Dartmouth College land to the river is somewhat restricted. It is necessary to carry upstream from the take out unless special permission can be obtained. Carry up past the Dead Diamond tributary bridge and put in on the Swift Diamond as far up as you wish to hike. The Swift Diamond is mostly class III until the confluence with the Dead Diamond branch. At this point the river tumbles steeply through a narrow gorge with continous class IV water. Above 1000 cfs the gorge can be continous class IV-V with no let up till close to the takeout.Information supplied by Todd ? at Saco Bound Northern Waters in Errol. StreamTeam Status: unverified

we are putting on this afternoon on the upper swift where the swift diamond logging rd crosses over the river upstream of the Dixie Dam Drop.
I recall several nice straight forward class 3 drops before the class IV Ellingwood Falls, sluice run of sixty yards...
Will try and update after the run.
