Trip Overview

An early November paddle down the Nashua River from Icehouse Dam to Pepperell. No one else out on the water! 11.4 miles

Safety Notes

The water is getting colder so we delayed our launch until it had warmed up above freezing. The launch below Icehouse Dam in Ayer is sketchy.

Gear Notes

Stellar 14'

CD Vision 14

Conditions

Upper 30's but sunny. A good current down to the crossing at MA 225. Current completely disappeared after the MA 111 crossing in the impoundment from the dam in Pepperell.
