After rainfall totaling 1.5' at knightenville dam (17 miles down stream) and its inflow registering over 1500cfs, the arch bridge gauge at the Cummington put in read 2 feet. The current is strong and continuous, always class 1 or more though not over class 3. Not a technical river, faster boats will find more surfable waves, some of the steeper gorge section provide some gnarly deep troughs with great entrance eddies. Enough cannot be said of the scenery , it seems at the rarity his section runs, do not miss a opurtunity to experience it.
Parking on Back St. for put in.
