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.
