This section of the New Haven is considered an area where kayakers learn to love kayaking because it has a mix of everything. If the water level is greater than 1,500 cfs some spots can get up to a class VI difficulty, otherwise it's mostly a class IV - V. There are slides, whitewater, eddies, and a couple waterfalls. One particular fall is called, Toaster Falls (Bristol Falls) which is 15 feet tall - be cautious not to go too far to the left...or else rocks will be one's landing. Be careful at the rapids after Toaster Falls for a hole on the bottom right slot. Also, there's a section called, Mama Tried which can have a big hole when water is high. Back at the put-in, sometimes the first rapids are portaged around at low water due to rocks. Be sure to check water levels before going.
