The Mill Race

There are two options here. This is amoung the toughest rapid in southern NH. The North Branch splits just after a long flat section leading down from Stone Bridge rapid. The right channel is shorter in distance but drops more dramatically over this distance. Scout from river right. The left channel is longer and narrower but still packs a punch. The initial drop is about 5' from a deteriorating rock dam, the river then takes a sharp right and drops steeply over the 1000+ feet in lenght. Along the way there are many pinning spots in this narrow channel. Always scout this drop since a fallen tree could easily block the entire channel.
