Description
When you notice the river narrow significantly through a dark hemlock forest you are approaching the Funnel. The river narrows to 22 feet wide then drops over a 3 foot ledge. The right side below the ledge has a ski jump. Most paddlers chose to run hugging river left. Be careful when running this section since a tree fall could easily span the entire river.
