The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New Hampshire are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The put-in location is a short drive from Berlin, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all |
set. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. There are plenty
| of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The beautiful scenery of Grafton County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. When you're paddling down a White Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The | |
