It should be noted for an extended trip if you put in up river (approx 280 Lyndeboro Road, New Boston, NH) it is a pleasant calmer water trip interspersed with mild rapids but you will encounter an old dam that requires a portage. River left is a private yard but there is a place to take out on the right. Some members of your group may require assistance because it is fairly steep and right on top of the dam so a mishap could result in getting washed over the dam.
