Description
Shortly after the first cabin on river left (in the right channel around an island) this 30-40 yard stretch passes through granite walls about four feet apart, spanned by a footbridge. The drop consists of a slide with a bend in the middle of the rapids and a 3 foot drop at the end. This should be scouted for wood before running. Take out on the island (river left) before the drop and walk over the footbridge to inspect entire drop.
