Directions: Park in The Basin parking area, from I-93 South in Franconia Notch State Park; put in on the North side of the lot. To takeout: take I-93 South to Exit 1. Follow Rte. 3 South toward Lincoln. The takeout is behind the Indian Head Hotel / Resort on the left. They'll usually allow you to park in the hotel parking lot, but be courteous; we don't want to lose this privilege. To retrieve a car from the putin, you'll need to drive North on I-93 to Exit 2 (Cannon Mtn. Tramway Exit). Bang an Interstate U-Turn and head South back to The Basin Exit. The first known descent of the Upper Pemi was April 26, 1992, by Bob Potter, Gary Weiner, Greg Hanlon, and Steve Hyndman. The first run of the North Pole occurred several years later.0 Flow Info: River-left abutment footing platform on the downstream side of the covered bridge below Flume Brook, behind the State Park visitors' center.
