The last dam release of the year is on the Piscataquog River in Goffstown NH. It’s not a tough paddle, and the run is short, but there are
a couple of fun play spots. It has also become a bit of a ritual for the RICKA crew
to attend this event, and this year the crew was me, Paul and Dan.
The day was warm, and the
river was at its usual release level – 5.5 feet, 800 cfs. This year, arrangements were made to
take out at Henry Bridge Road, which eliminated the flatwater section at the end, and
allowed us to do a couple of runs before the BBQ.

The water turned on at 10:00,
and we headed downstream around 10:30. I started off with a swim at the very first rapid. I wasn’t paying attention and flipped on a rock as I was
grabbing my camera for a picture.
The water was only knee deep, so I was quickly back in my boat with little
more than a bruised ego.
We worked our way down to
the surf wave at Henry Bridge Road.
I did my usual side surfing flip in this rapid. This year I lasted about 45 seconds
before the inevitable swim. Good
news was that we had time for another run.
