Directions: from I-93 North, take Exit 30 and follow Rte. 3 North for 2.4 miles. Glover
flows under Rte. 3 from the West. How hard are you willing to work for your whitewater? This is
another of those "shoulder shuttles." Park at this takeout bridge and hike upstream on the Glover
Brook Trail to Elbow Pond, the putin.

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,
