Description

Second Dam portage on the Roaring Brook. Low Flows allowed walking on river right to get down to 2 different seal launch spots. There is an option to take out on River Right at this dam if needed. 

 

High launch off a chunky formation led to ugly flops into the water. We lowered down the slippery rock further for a stable flat launching area and an 8 ft seal launch (gallery).
