Heart of the Dells

The current from the first pitch flows swiftly through a short pool, tripping across shallow rocky debris, then drops into the Heart of the Dells. The river twists sharply left, the right wall is slightly undercut/overhanging, and the currents flow hard and fast into it.

HINT: If you have your bow pointed downstream, aligned with the current, you will almost certain be pushed into the wall! Instead, point your bow toward the left shore (even a bit upstream!) and paddle aggressively out of the strongest current, so as to not get shoved up against the undercut right wall. (You want to end up along the left wall immediately below the bend!)

NOTE: The tree in the photo had blocked the dells for years. It has been cut and should flush downstream the next time the river rises to runnble flows.
