Description

After a while, the river turns to the left at a huge railroad cut.  At low water levels, the river shoals out in the turn and the line is to stay far left -- just left of a small rocky/gravely island.  At higher water levels, you can run it anywhere and the island becomes a pour-over to be avoided.  The river comes together below the little island and forms a nice surfing wave against a large rock formation ("Lunch Rock") on river right with the old railroad (bike trail) bridge immediately below.  Depending upon your timing, this is a potential lunch spot -- river right.  Image was taken at minimal runnable level of 2.0' (Markleton).   For the next 1/2 mile there are a series of unnamed class II boulder gardens, gravel bars and small ledges.
