Description

1st major ledge below dam at Cedar Falls.  Typically run to the left of the "gate" rock, but you can run center or river right at most levels.  Above 700 cfs/ 3.0' a wave begins to form on river right and Camel Gate proper starts having retentiveness, though snug to the rock.  At high levels, the current is fairly pushy and there is the possibility of pinning a boat in the rock sieve.
