White River

Yesterday, April 28th, 2018, I ran the White River in the RASTA Disastour, which is an awesome event - https://www.rastavt.org/

The section of the White River from D's Doghouse near Buffalo Farm Road to roughly the USFS Rochester Ranger Station at about Quarry Hill Farm Road where the White River flows under Route 100 was in perfect condition at this water level.

The conditions at the Ayers Brook gage read 241.00cfs on 04/28/2018 at 11:42:56 just as we were on the river. All I can say is that the river flow was perfect for a delightful paddle: Plenty of fast moving water, some good riffles and some nice waves; perhaps, a couple of Class 2 (maybe) rapids.

There is, however, a mandatory portage for a river wide strainer that exists just as you pass the Hancock Building Supply. You'll see the old sheds on the right. Continue and make the next right turn in the river, but as it straightens again, you must exit on the rocks to the left. Portage down the very convenient beach, rocky shore and put in just below the strainer.

The river flow was perfect in this section at these levels.
