This section of the Winooski has a series of waterfalls, ledges, holes, and slides. Due to the nature of the area, this river-run can only be paddled a few days (on occasion) out of the year when the water is high. Recommended conditions require around 2,000 cfs on the New Haven River for this to be considered. Following alongside Route 12, one will paddle over many falls, one of which is a 15 footer as one nears the end of the course (which is shortly preceded by a small ledge). Be cautious on this 15 foot waterfall when attempting because there is a ledge part way down the fall. When in doubt, scout. At the end of the entire route, there is another waterfall at nearly the same height as the previous 15 footer. After the last fall, there is no real designated spot to exit the river at take-out, so one will need to find an area that suits.
