Description

From the put-in, you'll have relatively shallow low-grade (class I-II) boulder-bed rapids leading nearly a half-mile to a culvert crossing under the road. Another one-third-mile of the same (class I-II) brings you to a large glacial erratic (a huge boulder, probably deposited here by a glacier) on the river-right shore, where the river takes a sharp left-hand bend, is signal of the first significant drop.

Less experienced boaters may wish to get out to scout, but others should be able to boat-scout this drop. Some minor play is possible here (depending on the flow, of course). A decent pool follows.
