Cocheco

Scouted from Dover Community Trail today at 360cfs. Was unable to put eyes on Hayes Falls. Added updated photos of Kimball & Whittier Falls.
there is very limited parking at take out (Dover Community Trail on Whittier St) MAYBE enough for 2 cars total.
Otherwhise Whittier Falls looks like it could be a great park and play spot

Kimball falls at 360cfs

Whittier Falls at 360cfs

Ran Watson-Whittier section today @75cfs to scout for when the water comes up. Quite low @75 but everything was runnable, an amazing river for the area. Kimball Falls (biggest drop) was most enjoyable with a 'ski jump' boof on the right side line.

(difficulty is a guess - no hazards identified, but proceed with caution)

Very nice play wave with eddy service, just below first class IV drop.

Ran the river yesterday at 380cfs. Everything looked good, even contemplated running the 15 foot falls. There's a nice boof line in the middle. I'm looking to run it the next time the water comes up.

Has the first big drop been run yet?

Th Islanglass Guage appears to be back running.

Due to funding problems, the Isinglass river guage has gone off-line. The Islanglass is one of two major tributaries of the Cocheco. On Oct 28th the Cocheco at Rochester NH (upstream 11 miles - and the other tributarie of the lower Cocheco) was guaged at 1400 cfs, and I would venture a guess that through Dover the river was well over 2500. This after 2.7 inches of rain according to the National Weather Service web page. The ground water level was moderate, and the trees dormant for the season.
