We did this reach (Brewster to Burnt Mill) as an overnighter for my friend's 35th birthday - 1/12/08 - 1/13/08. I was in a kayak and my friends were in a small raft. The level at Burnt was 700 cfs when we put on and 500 cfs when we took off. It felt slightly low on day one above the White Oak Cr confluence, medium low on day one below the confluence and low on day two. Regardless, they didn't have too much trouble getting their small raft, loaded with two people, two dogs and overnight gear for three, downstream. This is a scenic run with good wilderness quality. Recommended.
A US Park Service ranger pulled up while we were preparing to put on. He advised us to not leave our rig near the new high bridge at Brewster's. Aparently, local teen agers enjoy hucking stuff off of the bridge - TVs seem to be their favorite. Park outside of the drop zone!
