Description

This final pitch had been present when the dam was still in place. This will be a very boney stretch unless the creek is running high. If the creek is high enough for this not to be boney, the most difficult part about boating it will not be the rocks, but will be the fact that this straight-away (parallel to the road) takes a sharp left turn to pass under the road!

Current piles into the streambank, and so will you if you do not have solid skills to know how to avoid a hard piton into shore! There will be a river-right eddy (if you can catch it) that could allow play if any sort of wave forms at the base of the pitch, but, again, as you flush off it, you will need to quickly maneuver to avoid being pushed into that shore downstream.
