River Description

Brandon Cain says:

'If you run this scout Flower mill and Valley Ave. Bridge. I put in at Bullseye Bridge and take out below Stevie Wonder.'

Ryan Gerry:

Fun after work/school run with some decent play at some levels. I almost always run from Flower Mill to Shopping Cart unless I'm with a very inexperienced boater.

Flour mill is actually easier at high water because most of the rocks are covered. Pretty straight shot down river right.

Harder than it looks

A Gage for the kenduskeag can be found here:

I'd say it can be run from about 5.0 and up, 7.0 to 9ish being best.

Flour Mill on the kenduskeag at med/low water from the Overlook. Between Runnable Low and Perfect. This drop becomes even better at higher water.
