Trip Report

We paddled this section last year and it is an amazing river. Countless surf waves in a beautiful shale gorge and a myriad of cascades falling over the walls. I counted more than 50 individual falls coming into the gorge. Not many run this, but it is well worth a look. In the 11 miles we only caught 4 eddies. 100% boogie + surfing. I can't wait to do it again.
On a side note: Does anyone have any beta on the section below High Falls? It looks like it may have a more drop/pool nature than New Boston part or at least some bigger drops.
