Bowley Brook

If you can't find a paddling buddy or only have time to get an hour of creeking in and you're in the Farmington area this one is fun and relatively safe (if you scout it).

If the gorge is scratchy then the boulder garden section that runs to Webb Lake won't be much fun and will beat your boat up, but the gorge is more manageable.

If the gorge is fluid or juiced then you better plan as if you are going to run all 6-8 consecutive falls without catching an eddy. At this level the boulder section is about as good as it gets if you are into running steep mountain streams full of round boulders.
