Description
Just before the first drop, an island is encountered, though it may not be very obvious. The main flow (going into the Canyon Rapid) lies to the right -- really almost more straight ahead. You actually need to make a 90-degree left to catch the left channel. (You may also wish to check out the left side, just for variety.) A footbridge is encountered early on the left side, then a narrow channel leads to a wider ledge coming out below the island.
