2) Cummington to Chesterfield Gorge (Pork Barrel Section)

Class I-III
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.

Gauge Description:

A gauge is located at the arched bridge in Cummington. 1 foot is bare minimum, with not much play; play begins about 2 feet, with great play at 3 feet. At 4 feet, it's getting pushy. This section needs lots of rain to be runnable.
