Planning for the Connecticut River - Orford to the Wilder Dam

Another section that I would like to do sometime is the 21-miles below Orford:

Put in - Orford Boat Landing – mile 240 - improved ramp and dock.

Intermediate Campsite - Birch Meadow Campsite - mile 238 - two miles below Orford on the VT side, on a low wooded point just above the marshland at the outlet of Lake Morey.

First Night - Roaring Brook Campsite – mile 235 - grassy site between two brooks on the VT side

Second Night - Patchen's Point Campsite – mile 224 – a pleasant and roomy camping spot nestled in a grove of White Pines north of Hanover on the VT side. Warning - this can be a popular hang-out spot for local kids, especially on weekend nights.

Intermediate Campsite - Gilman Island Campsite – mile 220 – a popular group campsite on Gilman Island provided by Great River Hydro on the south tip of the island, managed through a partnership with LL Bean's Outdoor Discovery School in West Lebanon, NH.

Take out - Wilder Dam Portage – mile 219 - unimproved path, car-top access only.

Maybe in the fall.
