A ton of fun...
June 13, 2013, 8pm, Nashua River, C-Wave Rapid @ ~2850cfs = 5.9', looking downstream from Runnell's Bridge/facing northwest. Park on river L on first R dirt rd. off Depot Rd. at [42.712678, -71.549355]. From shore access the eddy formed by the bridge piling, then the closest two holes in the picture are successively achieved on-the-fly but are very good for spinning and controlled looping at this level - deep and steady! Part of a world-class wave is seen further down on the R side of the drop, though most of it is unseen because it extends under the trees and shadows. Unfortunately it, too, is on-the-fly at this level, but totally worth the effort. The second wave behind it is visible and is a fun ride. The last ledge is the C-Wave on the far R and top of the picture; a bit of a challenge to get to at this level but worthy. The L edge of the ledge is easier play, with excellent eddy service, and a paddler in the shot shows the scale. NOTE: there is a new NO TRESPASSING area on the river L property below the ledge, which cuts off easy portaging back to the parking, forcing an effortful ferry from the ledge to stay upstream and legit. GoogleMaps marks the R bank below the bridge as 'Runnell's Bridge Land' which appears to be an easy and legitimate access back to the bridge and to re-run the world-class wave. Enjoy! d.
