River DescriptionThis section, according to John Novo, "is a nice class 3 with a little gorge and a nice 4-5 foot drop. It also has a very nice little rock garden section that is about a 1/4 mile long and some nice surfing waves just below the Rte. 112 bridge."StreamTeam Status: unverified

Knightville dam is just upstream from the put in. Normal spring recreational release from the dam is 1000 cfs.
The flow is augmented with the confluence of the Middle Branch of the Westfield River about half way through this segment. Littleville dam on this branch usually releases an additional 300 cfs.
At 1000-1500 cfs, this gets pretty nice. The minimum corresponds to about 4.5 ft.
