Cold

A perfect flow! I will update with more details.

Worth noting, you can cut out the 7 mile hike by paddling across Henderson Lake, Upper Preston Pond, Lower Preston Pond, and Duck Hole. Still 2+ miles of a portage. No crazy elevation gain or technical sections, though it does cut through swampy lands.

First couple miles of the cold are class 4, then continuous class 3 till mile 11 when you get to Millers Falls. This is a class 5 rapid far from rescue if you need it. Keep the worst case scenario in mind when you scout.

This trip is absolutely epic and worth going for if you want an overnight ADK whitewater experience with high adventure! Some fun, some physical challenge, stunning scenery, and quality whitewater!
