Description
It's a short two-and-a-half mile section below the first Connecticut lake. It's easier at the start but you have to watch out for trees, ledges, and fishermen. The biggest rapid is right before St-Francis lake. At some flow, Judge's and Jury ledge could be riverwide dangerous hydrolic. Over 700 CFS, rapids are class 3.
