For this float, everyone will need to bring or rent their own tube. Plymouth Ski & Sport rents tubes, or you can buy one ahead of time from Amazon/O’Reilly. We’ll meet at Plymouth Ski & Sport, walkable from the take-out, then coordinate rides to the put-in together. 97 Main St, Plymouth, NH 03264

Quick river update: Friday rain may raise the water level, which could help since the river has been running low. We’re still planning to go Saturday, but we’ll recheck the Plymouth gauge and weather Friday evening and Saturday morning. If the river rises too quickly, looks fast/muddy, or storms remain in the forecast, we’ll update the group. Please bring a PFD, water shoes, and be prepared for natural river conditions.
