New Hampshire whitewater - Baker River, White Mountains, Grafton County Grafton county, Route 118 to Wentworth section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     6 miles   My daughter 14 and I 52 paddled this river in 2005. I lost my Red Sox world cahmpions hat within 2 minutes as we ducked under a fallen tree. We took on some water at that point, which only added to the adventure. We enjoyed our day in the sun. We pulled out in Rumney only to find out that the cell phone could not connect to a tower. Therefore we relied on the generosity of a Rumney residento to dispatch our ride. We did see one other canoing family on this day.
