River Description

Information from Greg and Sue Hanlon's Steep Creeks of New England, which has more info on this run. Text used with permission.

"Below Kinsman Falls lies a 20+ foot, unnamed vertical drop, which is considered a portage due to its narrow approach."
"This very unique run contains many shallow, steep slides and rapids filled with potential pin spots, making an inflatable kayak or 'ducky' the vessel of choice."

Directions: Park at The Basin parking lot and hike up the Basin-Cascade Trail. The trail crosses the river twice before the gradient begins to lessen. Put in above a double waterfall shortly after the trail crosses to river left.

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,
