Description
The put-in for this, the first of four regularly run whitewater sections on the Moose River can be found on Route 28 just south of HTR (formerly Singing Waters) Campground where the river is visible from the road. There is another put-in just to the north of Singing Waters on Scusa Road, please be respectful as the fishing access is on private property. This section of river is primarily a class II and fast moving water run. At low levels it is a scrape and rub rock garden. There is one named rapid, Nelson's Falls that is considered a class IV. Nelson's is a fun 3 drop rapid with some undercuts and is often the site of big strainers! An alternate take-out, is on river right, just before the Route 28 bridge at a fishing access.
