I was scouting the lower part of the Mascoma yesterday, near where it splits into 2just before the riverside Grill restaurant and saw a large tree blocking the usual passage going right. this is going to be impassable at most paddling levels and will need to be walked around or bypassed by taking the left channel whose status wrt trees I am not sure. also, with the heavy recent rains, there are sure to be more trees down in the upper reaches; so anyone going on it should take care. If I paddle/scout it soon and see anything, I will post.
