Wells River

First drop right below put-in and under a decrepit bridge. Usually run river left to avoid ledges. Forms a sticky hole at bottom.

III+ / IV depending on the level.

Also known as 'Brett's Mom'

A ledge with a move into a strong flow running right to left past an old mill race.

A series of moves on river left (also lines down the center).

Class III at lower water.

A class III rapid with nice center boof rock

A 13' waterfall.

From Jolyon Rivoir-Pruszinski : 'Do not run unless you are confident that you can land out beyond the rock in the crease on river left. Warning: even succesful runs of this drop have resulted in compressed spines and dislocated shoulders. Unsuccesful runs have resulted in seriously damaged equipment. The gauge is in the backwater to this drop. Below the waterfall is a good splat spot on river right. '

A 0.2 mile long section of III / III + leads into the lowest most drop. Can be run right or left (check for wood).

From above: 'A couple hundred yards of II-III lead to the class-III entrance to the final big drop (IV+). This final drop can be run RR or RL. The RR line is very straightforward but there is a pinning rock on the right hand side in the middle of the chute. The RL line is a deceptive scout. Few have run it succesfully on the first try. '

If you do run it, hug the boulder in the center of the river around which the river splits and then once past this section either dart left to a microeddy above the final slide or head right down the slide.

A hole sometimes forms at the bottom depending on the level of the reservoir above the hydro dam 0.25 miles downstream.
