Quaboag
River DescriptionYou may upload a photo to the photo/video archive, or use a photo that someone else has uploaded. hide<< The Quaboag starts at the Lucy Stone Park as a class II river for almost half of the run then turns into a class III pool drop river with one carry around a dam. At the higher water levels some of the rapids become very turbulent and are filled with powerful holes that can easily swamp an open boat. For a complete description refer to the guidebook "Classic Northeastern Whitewater Guide" by Bruce Lessels.
Caution: Be on a constant lookout for downed trees. There are a lot of beavers in the area and they're all on steroids. They've been knocking down huge trees that have spanned the entire river.

</a> U.S.G.S. gageA good challenging south central Massachusetts river between Springfield and Worcester. Put in at Lucy Stone Park which is off MA rt 67 in West Warren. Upper portions run through the old industrial town of Ware and is not visually pleasing. </div> </td> </tr> <tr class='formrow rowalt1'> <td class='form_fieldcol'><span class='form_fieldname'>AW Photo ID</span></td> <td class='form_inputcol'> <span class='form_instruction_icon'> <span class='form_instruction_expander' id='exinfo19'> <img src='/resources/images/information.png' _fcksavedurl='/resources/images/information.png'> <a href='#' onclick=' document.getElementById(){kind=link}
