NEW YORK--BEAVER RIVER--EAGLE SECTION
BEAVER RIVER—EAGLE SECTION
This release happened in the second half of the day.
The Eagle section is even steeper and shorter than the Taylorville Section. This stretch, rated Class V, consists of 5 drops (if you include the somewhat silly put-in “slide” down the dam). The 3 middle drops are fairly tall slide-type drops, and the last is about a 6 or 7 foot ledge to boof over.
You can just walk laps on this stretch walking up the slabs of rock on the river left side.
One dude, who was really motivated, got 15 laps in during the 4 hour release—Way to go man!
There is, supposedly a Beaver River Festival each Labor Day where they also release water on the Moshier Section which is, locals tell us, the true gem of the Beaver River.

All the drops are fairly straight forward once you’ve entered them.
