Pierce Pond Stream

This is a great run. I was a little intimidated by the above comments, but I would call this a very manageable class V run. There were three drops we portaged that are definitely big time class V rapids. The first one looked the most runnable, but had a tree at the bottom. This one fell perhaps seventy feet in three distinct steps. It would be quite sick without the tree. We had to rope boats around a vertical 30 footer landing on rocks (makable line on river right, but no takers in our group). Towards the end is a sliding drop of around fifty feet total that also lands on rocks. We were able to seal launch in for the last thirty on river right. I believe all of these drops have been run in their entirety.

The rock is sharp, the run is committing, and it shouldn't be taken lightly, but this is well within the abilities of most competent Class V boaters. Enjoy!
