   Boonton Gorge Paddlers: The "Below the Falls" Club

        Below are lists of paddlers who have run the Rockaway River through Boonton Gorge and trips which have been made made through the gorge. If you have ever paddled Boonton Gorge please use the link below to send your name and (if possible) dates and levels for every trip you can remember. As we work to clarify the access situation in Boonton, it would be valuable to have documentation which showing how long this has been an established run, and how consistently it has been utilized over the decades. Paddling Boonton Gorge is not, and has never been illegal, so there is no danger of legal reprisals from being listed here.

 Trips through the gorge

This table will eventually document all of the runs which have been made through Boonton Gorge, including the name of the paddler, the date of the run, and the water level that day
(all dependent on available info, of course)

So, to complete this project, I'll need people to send me list of all of their runs through the gorge with the members of the group, level and date
As you can see to the left, my info is far from complete.
