Description
After you pass under the Rt. 4 Bridge you will encounter your first rapid. You will see a horizon line and a small old cement building on river right. To scout, eddy out above the drop on river left. This rapid is very rocky. The best line is river left of center. At the bottom there is a small hole that can stop your speed.
