Week 2: Littleton, NH to Hanover, NH/White River Junction, VT

Our journey continues from the southern side of Moore Reservoir, across Comerford Reservoir and down river through a mix of quick water and meandering oxbow lakes in the small agricultural towns of the Upper Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. We will again be camping along the banks of the river throughout the week, and will settle into the quiet rhythm of pilgrimage as we pass river islands and prime habitat for ducks, blue herons, and bald eagles. Pilgrims on this section should be comfortable paddling and camping for a week, but do not need extensive whitewater experience.
