Description

A fun stretch of offset ledges, waves, and holes leads toward and past a large conglomerate outcropping on river left. None should cause particular trouble. More often (at levels up to 350cfs) the challenge is to keep from 'grunging out' in this stretch. A 'stealth rock' does exist in the center of the final drop, so stay left or get well to the right to avoid piton or gouging your boat.
