Description

The last rapid on Cane Creek.  This one drops about 8-10 feet through some boulders, requiring a move to the right part-way down to avoid contact.

This one can be hard to catch because as the Rockcastle River rises it backs up into the mouth of Cane Creek inundating this drop.  When the Rockcastle is running over 10,000 this rapid is covered by flat water and one could paddle over top of it and never know it was there.
