This short, challenging stretch or whitewater and bounces over seven or eight rapids that range from class III to class IV depending on river flows. The surroundings of this paddle are scenic with heavily wooded banks on both sides punctuated by old dam and factory ruins. This float is of the degree of difficulty that you really should scout it before running; you can accomplish this from the Winnipesaukee River Trail that parallels the left bank. Also be aware that the GPS track provided is not intended to imply a suggested course down river.
