River Description
Put in just below the hydro dam in Kezar Falls, intermittent class 2 and quick water, take out at the rte. 5 bridge on the Saco at Cornish Station. This is a great run for beginners and intermediate paddlers...plenty of surfing waves, micro eddies, and flat water to practice rolls.

Saco was flowing at 2400 and the Ossipee was pretty scratchy. Can't imagine being able to paddle it with less water. Pretty mellow at this level looks like a few spots could be class II with more water.
Photo uploads do not work for this stretch of river for some reason...
