Above Sherman Reservoir

 

The Deerfield River between Readsboro Vermont and Somerset Reservoir, which straddles the Vermont-Massachusetts border.  This spot is about 1/2 mile above the head of the reservoir.  The river's gradient has dminished significantly by this point. Both upstream branches consist largely of riffles for their last mile or more.
