Description

This fairly short reach passes through a steep-walled section. At higher flows there are few eddies and virtually no chance to exit the river (in the event of a swim) within the dells proper. Some fine surfing waves develop at low-to-moderate flows. There is one spot in the dells which may form a somewhat more significant wave/hole at certain levels which may be of concern. This run makes a great companion run for the near-by Trappe River.
