rafting is once-in-a-life-time experience. 我去年去漂过一次，非常惊险刺激，
也较安全，比美国其他的 ClassV 河，安全得多。这里是这条河的一段漂流的录像：

River Description
After a long drive by logging roads dodging Moose, put-in at McKay station.
There is usually dependable flow here all Summer. The section from the dam
to Chewonki's Big Eddy (about 2 miles) is considered a class V run. Just
below the put-in is Exterminator hole. At normal summer levels punch the
hole on the left. Below exterminator is Staircase rapid. Shallow class IV
with a nice wave train at the end. Just downstream you will notice the main
flow of the river goes to the left around a shear rock wall go to the left
for Big Heater rapid. To the right a narrow channel leads to a nice little
drop (Little Heater). Just below the heaters on river right is Troublemaker
hole, a nice powerfull playhole. Pull out on river left just above a bridge.
Downstream lies one of the most difficult rapids in all New England. The
Cribworks should be scouted from "Vulture rock" which lies on river left
where the river turns left. The move should be obvious to any veteran boater
. Drop through the Turkey Shot on river left then move toward river right
through Final Chute. Avoid going river left after Turkey shot, the river
runs through a boulder sieve that could trap a boat or swimmer.
Below Prays Big Eddy the river alternates between long stretches of
flatwater and sudden large drops. Some of the rapids in this section are "
Big Amberjackwockamas" (Big A), Neswadnehunk (Soudyhunk)falls, and Abol.
The West Branch of the Penobscott has been compared to the Upper Gauley and
many New England boaters will come here for a warm up before venturing to
West Virginia. |
