Grafton county, Profile Lake through Franconia Notch section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     2.9 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New Hampshire is often tougher than elsewhere, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Berlin, as you can see on the road map further down. This stretch of Pemigewasset River in Grafton County is 2.9 miles long and has been rated as a class V section by American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of Grafton County and the playfulness of the
    water make the trip here worthwhile. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. The beautiful White Mountains scenery is an added bonus. This stretch is short so better bring some good walking shoes. There are some good hotels near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
