River Description

This is mostly a Class I river with some Class II. If it rains hard all week, we will have a blast. If it dries up relocate to Goffstown below the Dam and do 'Sunshine's Little River'

The gauge is new. The flow range is an estimate based on the 75th percentile. If you run this section please leave a comment with more beta.

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.
