Headwaters along Route 93 to Blackwater River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 11 miles
there is a broken out dam just upstream of rt. 93 with easy (but private) access. running the rubble at this dam provides a good gauge of what you will find/need downstream. just remember that this is unposted private property and do not block the road for access by large work vehicles.
