Description
The Indian Ledges section of the Souhegan is a touring river with a combination of  flatwater, quickwater and few class II and III rapids. The trip can be split up since there are a number of access points all along the river. This section starts near the Oval in downtown Milford; It ends in Merrimack in a public park by the Turkey Hill Road bridge upstream of the Wildcat Falls section. _Access Point__River Miles__River Character_ _and Features__Notes_ Milford Oval 0.0 miles Flatwater Put-in/Park in public park on river-left behind the Post Office across the river from the Oval.
