Winnipesaukee

I ran the Upper Winnie today. Not sure what the actual flow was, because this site claimed 540 cfs but a gauge I saw just above the first tressel was reading 320.

I don't have anything to add to the info here on the established sections. However, today the dam was open below the takeout area, and the level was 20+ feet lower than it normally is at the take out. This made it so that the usual calm area from below the rapids at School street bridge to the take out was not calm, but rather a series of rapids under the Park Street bridge and tressel and turned into an area better resembling the Lower Winnie. At this drainage level, there's a big log strainer at river left just around the turn from Park Street bridge. Further down stream there's another strainer lodged in big boulders mid river, but it doesn't stick out very far. River right looks to be the best route through here. After these drops, the river turns back into riffles with some small surfable waves. Expect a steep climb up the bank to the parking area at the take out.
