Penobscot, W. Branch

420 CFS

Have run the Seboomook many times in a kayak or ducky around this level, and it is a bunch of fun.  Decided to see what would happen with a 16' raft and a crew of 8.

It was doable, but not great - portaged Meat Cleaver (called E-ledge here) the first time, the second run we ditched most of the crew and ran far river right and squeaked through.  'K-ledge' was scrapey both times - would portage if I did it again.

Managed some surfing at 'D-ledge' and Movemaker (I-ledge?), and the ledge on river left directly after Movermaker too.

Overall, not worth it - but it was fun to be on the river anyways!

Maybe 600+ cfs it may be more worth it.
