Packer Brook

Just below the Bridge street bridge is a rather long rapid for this stretch of river. The general route is just slightly left of center. At medium to high water a nice glassy wave forms at the top of the rapid from river right and extends to the center of the river. However, there is no convenient eddy to access the wave so boaters must try to catch the wave on the way down. Look out at low water levels, this wave is formed by a log crib that still has some spikes protruding. A couple of boats have been holed here.
