Description
If you want to skip the run through town, you can take out at the bridge just outside of Palenville. The drops through town are all pool drop and of a very different character than up above. The first drop, which comes immediately downstream of the bridge, is split by an island. The left side is unrunnable and the right is very junky, but scouting needs to be done very stealthily; the landowners on either side of the river do not like visitors and have numerous "no trespassing" signs posted. There are 5 or 6 other good drops between here and the take out.
