Here is your takeout point before the gorge, good rapids below, then some flatwater to take out at farr rd.

Little River Strainer

There is a river wide strainer 1/4 mile down stream of the gorge. It is a very large tree and a second fallen tree which is still growing (or it is part of the first tree) is on the down stream side of it.

We passed through a narrow chute right of the island while it also has multiple small strainers, the low water meant it had a safe passage.

For Portaging I would recommend the left hand bank.

The tree is firmly set and I doubt even in high water the tree will not move.

The FERC Issued their Environmental Assessment for the project early this fall (2005) and it is very favorable for the paddling community. The EA precedes the License by a few months, and filing comments on the EA is often the last step of relicensing. AW supported the preferred alternative in the EA as written, and with any luck the Little will be another huge success story for the paddling community. We owe alot to Tom Christopher and New England Flow for this one. Great Work!
