On August 28th, 2011 Hurricane Irene struck New England. The resulting floods caused extensive
damage throughout the region, the worst in over 100 years. More than half the rivers in Vermont and
northern New Hampshire recorded their highest flow levels ever. Many roads, guardrails, power
lines, bridges, trees and other debris now litter several rivers throughout the region. River beds
have been scoured and changed course, many new strainers make navigation problematic at best and
downright dangerous at worse. Please realize that the river description you see here may not match
current situation after the floods. Use common sense and when in doubt scout especially on blind
drops. Also, if you run this river in the next year or so please comment on its navigability, even
if there are no problems this will be very helpful. Please report any new strainers or changes to
the rapids that will impact future boating. Thank you,

Jacquese, RPP-Carl, Bullyak, Chuck and I paddled the Ammo from the west end of Lower Falls Rd. to
Pierce Bridge on 7-May-2011. We had to get Carl back to work so we pushed it and ran the total in
about 3 hours. Level was about 3.4. I would consider this level to be low/medium. At this level,
the river was majority class II. There are a couple harder class II areas that may be barely III.
There is one drop, near a pull out on the east bound side of Rt302 about a mile from the Rt.3/302
junction that is solid III and would probably be IV with more water. Very nice run. Great scenery,
great water quality. ~~paulkaski~~
