River Description
The longest trip involves putting in just upstream of the culvert under South Johnsburg Road. Immediately after exiting the culvert you fly over a 10 foot waterfall (see photos). I call this 'Pipe Dream'. Be careful to scout the landing first. The next 1.5 miles involves lovely 80 fpm rapids down to the route 28 bridge. From here you have a short stretch of flatwater which ends at a (possibly unrunable) mill dam waterfall - carry on the right. Another mile of boogy water brings you to the 'Black Hole' slide - beware the pinning rock on the right. You can take-out here, or run a short rapid (IV) down to the Hudson River, which has pleasant rapids (II/III) down to The Glen.
