Trail damage

went up to rock river last Monday, ...not bad, although the damage to the trail is significant in spots. You can still make it to the last pool, just takes a bit of mountain goat in you! Plan on donating to the rock river conservatory to help with the maintenance and marking the safer trail routes.

I have never been to Rock River, but am considering going this year.One thing that has made me apprehensive...while I am a capable hiker, I cannot swim.I don't mind walking across knee or waist-deep water, but I cannot swim across.Did last autumn's storms create any deep washes that would precluding walking across the river?

I went across and the deepest it got was knee high

Any current update on the condition of the area? is the hike okay? or still rough? Never been, so might need to know how to get there and where to go...

Hey Sweetcobs:
I've never seen the water so deep that it got above my thighs. It can be swift if there has been a lot of rain, but usually it's knee height. Just look carefully where people are crossing, and select your spot carefully.
You'll LOVE the river!

Man, I'd really like to try and get there this year.. Have to see if I can do the hike in... Where exactly would one go, is there a parking area? an address to GPS in, in order to find the spot? I usually go up to Southern NH to see friends every year, and often pass through Brattleboro, so I know I'm somewhat in the vicinity..
