This is a great section to train Novice paddlers. Need about 4 feet on the gauge. Shuttle is a
breeze for multiple runs. Put-in at pull over near intersection of SR63 and CR43, Take out at the
river side park at Alterson upstream of the Bridge. A truely fast run at High water levels. History
buffs can enjoy the Museum at Talcott - The John Henry legend and Tunnel where it all happened.
Great way to have Lunch and get some Pics. Edit
