Clove Brook

No more wood in upper section there is however, a tree about 5 ft off the water surface that you can get under. Then just downstream of that there is another tree blocking the whole river, sits about 5 inches above the river surface at 6in below the footing water level. There is also one more just before the last big drop right after the Rt. 23 bridge; can be avoided if you run river center then cut over to river right to complete the drop. I plan on getting up there in the spring to cut it all out. Even with this wood the river can still be run with little to no problems.

This video of me on 12/28/11 Shows all Major drops; Water level 6 inches below footing on first bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9cjRCUTL2U

Located along Gorge Rd. just below the rt.23 bridge.

This is the upstream side of the river right bridge abutment of the Rt. 23 bridge (just upstream of Dewitt Rd.). If the water is within 3' of the footing (or above) you're good to go.

This is the slide that leads up to the lip of the big drop. If you want a minute to think, you have to catch the eddy on river right
You have about 8 seconds to set up for this drop after you go down the big slide.

Adam Hubbard claims first descent of this creek in the late 80's? Who am I to argue?
