Upper Pawtuxet to Dam, gushing?

With the recent rain does anybody know if the Upper Pawtuxet to the Reservoir is safe to paddle or is it a raging torrent? Thinking of late afternoon. Thanks.

Don,
I was thinking of trying to put in this week or very early Sat or Sun just to see what it's looking like. I wouldn't be able to on Thurs., but is their a particular day you had in mind?

J,
Went yesterday afternoon. No issues paddling. 2nd spillway was gorgeous with cascading water. Nice to cool off there at the base of the spillway with a dip in the water.

Oh, man. That sounds awesome. I was hoping it would be something like that-when I've gone up there at the end and taken a left instead of right to where it says "don't trespass", I've never got very much further past the rocks, but I've read about what your describing. That is so cool. I might try for Saturday very early a.m.
