Rapid VT Class II

Right Channel

West River - 3. Salmon Hole to Route l00 (VT)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 800.0 – 1,800.0 CFS
Description

Shortly after the bridge and ball field put in the river splits. The left channel is where most of the flow goes but the right channel is smaller and a bit more technical. This section meanders back towards a farmers field then turns left back into the forest. It is on this left turn that Mimi Lebeau of the Ledyard Canoe Club became pinned in a strainer and drowned in the spring of 1989. Please be aware of this potential hazard. Downstream from here the river runs under a small covered bridge, just downstream and on river right there is a good play hole at release levels.
