Safety first. 2)Update: It appears that Rumsey to Bee Brook is passable, although many strainers
still exist. Lumber has been cut out of the upper section about 2/3's of the way down as of MLK
day. Strainers still exist. 1)2011 winter storm Albert has made both the Upper Shepaug and the run
from the Rumsey school impassable. There is a large number of full river strainers throughout the
run.
out is RTE 47. There is a run that goes all the way to Rte 67, but it is probably mostly CL 1 with
an occ. 2 Edit

correlates, I think around 3.5'. Ran it last week at 200 and it was solid wavetrains, yesterday at
150 cfs (ish) it was a lot slower, similar to the Salmon in colchester. I think i've run it up to
600cfs (around 4' old gage.) Edit
dont know if it has been completed but the reading obviously is still off. I have never actualy put
in at that point. I start on the Bantam at Rumsey Hall School adout 1/2 mile above confluence
w/Shepaugh, and take out at the Horse Riding Ring in the southern section of Steep Rock Reservation
in Washington. I love this section, just pure fun and great beauty. Edit
