Comments: This site is located on private property about 2 miles down gradient from the Falls Bridge on Rt. 92 in Harding. There are no near-shore structures except a series of ladders that the resident has set up for access to the river from his yard. These are located on a steep rocky embankment. There is about 75' difference in elevation from the road to the water level. The deepest part of the river (20' deep) is located about 40' offshore on the owners side of the river. This distance is about 1/3 across the river.
