Ran from 722 down to the confluence with the James tandem in canoes 8/9/20 at ~78 cfs or 3.03 ft on the Greenfield Gauge. This was runnable (one or two scrapes that were hard to avoid) and enjoyable. There is a class two rapid below the remains of a bridge abutment (river right) that does have some metal sticking up at the top of the rapid but easily avoided. Nice stretch and we'd do it again at that level or higher.

A muddy mess at the end of May. Locals told us that the upriver sections were more scenic. Don't get me wrong, the section right before the James is pretty, but I wouldn't do it again, living only 45 minutes away. Our group saw what looked like a very dangerous piece of rebar randomly sticking up out of the water where there were no other indicators of hazards. We were pretty sure it was metal.
