Pemigewasset, East Branch

From longtime AW member Jim Sindelar:

I ran this yesterday (4/20/06).

The level during my run was just under 1 foot on the Kank. Bridge boaters gage. The rapids were definitely 'white,' not green flowing water. I would call it a delightful and exciting level on the low side of 'medium,' definitely not a scratchy low water run. Thus the meaning of the gage has continued to evolve and now seems to be back to the early days of the first gage when 1 foot meant a good medium level.

The strainer identified in the river left drop by the island requiring a portage in 2004 is no longer a problem. The trunk of the tree is still there, but has settled into the river deeply enough that with good control, a clear run is available.
