Paddled this on 10/7/11 at around 2.3 ft (about 300 cfs). This is as low as I would paddle this as
it gets pretty boney. I put in just outside (south) of Roxbury on Rt. 17 (there's a great spot to
park a vehicle right next to an ATV trail.) I would advise you park your take out shuttle at Swift
River Falls as there isn't anything more than sporadic class 2's (just enough room to park 1-2
vehicles here.) That being said, there are some nice rapids on this stretch, mostly 2's but there
is one 3 (at this level anyway.) On 11/13/11 I paddled it at around 2.7 ft (400 cfs). Still class
2's and the one class 3 at this level. A little less boney but still rough on a boat. This is a
great river for those who live in this region who are tired of Errol, NH.
