Description
This section contains many ledges you can see if you look at Google Earth.  There should be lots of surfing here.  You can see some of them if you are going east on I-90 and look upstream.  It may take just as much water as the gorge section because it appears to be quite a bit wider as you get closer to the lake.  So again, it's probably about 4 ft on the Catt if you want to surf here. Put in at the Rt 20 bridge and take out at Willow Road.  For a longer trip you can also put in at the gorge take out at Laona Falls, although this section does not appear to contain the quantity of ledges found below Rt 20.
