Suncook

This section of the Suncook is mostly swift water, a couple easy class I rapids begin just above the larger rapid and the takeout at Websters Mills. Due to the easy nature of the river it makes a good learning and teaching ground for beginning kayakers and un-seasoned canoeists who can opt to takeout and easily portage the final drop. There are two or so destinct class I rapids just above the larger rapid at the takeout. The biggest challenge here is manuvering your boat arround a few rocks in the current. Novice paddlers can easily take out on river left just above the final rapid - from here it is just a short cary to the parking on the road. This portage makes for a great vantage point to watch experienced class II paddlers run the final drops before and under the bridge.
Seasoned paddlers looking for a thrill will be dissapointed by this run, although the takeout and \'websters mills\' rapid make for a centrally located play spot up to class II+ in high water.
