Description

Just after a hairpin left-hooking turn in the river (where there may be a foot-bridge flanking the river ... or not), a ledge combination appears. Downstream, boulderbed rapids continue for a bit before action subsides as you approach the backwaters of Interfalls Lake.

To shorten your flatwater, you will probably wish to paddle across toward the beach area where you should park your shuttle vehicle if you are doing just this upper section.
