Blackwater, North Fork - Rt. 219 to confluence with Blackwater River (WV)
After some smaller rock gardens, you reach Eye of the Needle. It is a 6-foot slope that ends in a 4-foot drop. The water slams into an undercut rock in the center. Ride the slope down the center and turn to the left (sideways) as you drop off. You will land on the pillow of the rock which will shoot you cleanly out. Don't be overzealous and head left too early because the water coming off the pillow will slam you into the wall on the left.
