Tavern Drop

As soon as you turn right away from NH rte 175 the Mad enters the gorge section.  You will immediately start encountering several ledge drops spaced only a dozen or so yards apart.  One of the major ones is a couple drops downstream of an old metal discharge culvert at a cliff overhang on river left.  The drop is somewhat blinded by large boulders but the river right side has a clear path.  Drop is named for the Mad River Tavern which is on river right (out of sight) on top of the gorge on NH rte 49.
