Description

The next three miles are full of small ledges and small surf spots. The first small rapid you will encounter is right under a bridge. There is usually a small hole you can play in here. After you are done playing the river makes another J turn with some small rapids in it. After this rapid there is another small drop that you can scout on river right if you want. The last time I ran this rapid it was low and shallow. Make your way downstream, enjoying Vermont's countryside.
