For a mixture of everything, this portion of the Deerfield River can offer just that: falls, drops, ledges, holes, slides, boofs, whitewater...and maybe some flat water. The difficulty rating usually ranges between class IV and V, but can be higher when water levels are high. The route begins below Readsboro Falls at a small pull-off along the road, where one will need to hike down a hill to the river's edge. Around the halfway point is one particular section that's marked as a portage - at a spot called, Tunnel Vision. It has a dangerous sieve, very sharp rocks, and is recommended to put-in again after the bridge. Be sure to check water levels before going to the river, and once there, scout out any questionable sections before attempting.
