Description

A series of rocks, waves, and holes above a low concrete bridge. A wide rock/hole in the center, 75' upstream of the bridge, typically pushes boaters to the right. Most of the current runs into the central bridge pier. At most water levels, it's possible to go to either side of this pier, but it's important to commit to a side early (especially in a raft). A left side sneak of the whole rapid is possible at levels above about 2.5'.
