Description
Old river guide books called the two drops on this run 'Master Ledges' and 'Bader Ledges'. (Ahh, the old sense of humor.) More modern books list them as 'Ledges' and 'Three Row Falls'. Bryan Foster offers: _The first ledge is signaled by a bolder garden, and has a nice hole for play. This is followed by a small island, with the right side offering more interest at higher levels._ _After some boulder gardens you come to the first drop of Three Row Falls. At medium to low levels the right side is scrapy and the left side offers some side surfing at the base. A short rapids leads to the final drop of Three Row Falls, which is a 4' ledge. The right side is a sheer drop, and can provide some stern squirt possibilities. The left side is a class II rapid._ _You can paddle this at levels down to 1.4' if you don't mind technical boulder gardens, as the main rapids and access paddle are quite runnable. (Mind you the gauge is down river a ways and after a dam)._ Thanks, Bryan!
