River Description
We ran this when the AW gauge was at 2500cfs. It was essentially a muddy farm creek that is only runnable when flooding, and is only worth doing if you truly love to portage around deadly sweepers through the world's thickest thorniest brambles. Truly a struggle, we had to walk around seven or eight sweepers that crossed the whole river. It's really only class I and II whitewater, but the fast current and the lack of eddies make it hard to get out in time when the next sweeper comes up around a corner. Better off running the Poultney..
Flow info:
The Otter Creek gauge is located downstream of the takeout where the Clarendon ends. The range is an estimate based on the 75th percentile of the Otter. If you run this section please leave a comment with the level.
