River Description
Doesn't look as though there's a good takeout at the W. Br. confluence. Lat/lon coordinates reflect a takeout on Rte. 126 in North Whitefield.
Landowner relations have deteriorated in recent years on the Sheepscot. Please be very respectful of the locals. Don't drive too fast; don't litter; don't go undressing in public. Use your head, or all paddlers will have a major headache here!

Ran April 19, 2011; gauge at 5.66’, 1,540 cfs. We had to put in just south of 32/17 crossing, as upper section not runable because of trees down. The stretch is much longer than the 2 miles listed; more like 4 miles.
First ~1/4 good water, last 3/4 pretty flat. II-III seems right on.
