Description
A challenging, technical, and funClass II at low levels. A few scrapy spots, two portages around strainers, and series of rocks and small drops that required a lot of maneuvering. This branch of the river is narrower than the nearby parts of the West Branch, and there are more spots where you need to get through a narrow slot. Very scenic with small falls coming in. A road runs along the whole reach, but there's little traffic on that road and I was barely aware of it. The M. Br. Westfield (Goss Hts.) U.S.G.S. gage appears to have been discontinued. The guage has been left in place to preserve the information, but a new correlation will have to be made with the West Branch Westfield in Huntington. The listed values are based on the West Branch
