Finally got a chance yesterday along with Dave, Rylan and Jamie to canoe the whitewater section of the Dungarvon. It is hard to believe water could get so high at the beginning of August. It is actually higher now than it was in the spring. We put in at the bridge coming in from Holtville and took out at the Dungarvon Bridge on the Dungarvon Road.
This section starts out with quick water for a couple kms and then rapids begin getting larger. There are a few nice ledges before the biggest rapid known as the Jaws. The river narrows in here quite a bit and produces some big water and waves. Dave and Rylans canoes pointed straight into the air...it looked as though they were going over backwards. Another nice rapid called Boar Head Narrows is just around the corner. The rapids end here with quick water for the next few kms to the take out. Definately worth running again sometime. The put in only just over 100kms from Fredericton too. I posted some pics.
