Mill River

Sorry to hear the dispute over the Mill rapid is still going on as late as 2016 as reported below. The Evan's claim to own the river bed under the water at the drop, because the deed to that property was drafted when the property was an actual mill, not a private residence. It's probable they own land on river left as well as river right, but they do not own the water way. I find it's best to simply not acknowledge their presence if confronted. Just scout and keep moving.

Stay off the left and right banks below the high water mark, which was up as high as the first floor of their home during Hurricane Irene.

They may call the police, but they're not in the right if you're below the high water mark.

This run is rarely paddled, and mostly by those with class IV ability. I seriously doubt their concern for safety is the main motivator, especially when stringing barbed wire across the rapid was mentioned as a potential deterrent. This is about keeping locals out of 'their' stretch of river.
