Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportRan from bridge to near the electric company (the long very new looking driveway with the old Jeep parked on a boulder out front). 543 cfs, pretty shallow but not to scratchy, still fun.
6-14-2013 boated at about 1050 cfs;
several strainers...nearly river wide... but easily avoided.
Fun in the upper reaches.
Any less water and it would lose much of the fun factor.

2.7 via this site was scratchy from old power house down to the bridge on 31
Dan Bertko reported on Mon 30-Oct-06 :
A group of us paddled the the upper cl3, middle cl2, lower cl3 sections yesterday, Oct 29, 2006.
Here's a data point for the virtual gauge:
Contookcook at Peterborough Net gauge 3.15 and falling
Souhegan old dam painted gauge: 2.0 and falling
The virtual gauge description is fairly accurate. I'd call it medium.
Description update:
There were no strainers in the upper cl3 section.
The large tree strainer mentioned in the cl2 description is no longer there.
There is a fine new beaver dam above the old cl2 strainer location.
A feature, not a hazard.
Arrow shows location of the new gage on the Souhegan. Can be seen from the bridge where NH route 31 cosses just north of the Greenville / Wilton town line.
Ran the Greenville to Rt 101 Bridge section on 7/10/05. The Gage on the Contoocook at Peterboro was running at 2.33 at the time. This level was very scratchy on the Souhegan. It was at the lower limit of what I would consider whitewater fun.
