Take Out

The takeout at the bridge at Backyard rapid has limited parking but is the most convenient. If your group is small then this would be your best bet. Large groups should park their vehicles at the Wentworth ball field directly across the street from the convenience store which is just before route 25 crosses over the Baker river. The confluence of Pond Brook is actually downstream a ways. If you paddle all the way to the Baker you will have to carry back upstream some distance. Another option would be to cut across a spit of land just as Pond Brook takes a sharp right in the runout flatwater below Backyard rapid. Once at the Baker you're vehicle will be directly across the river.
