Description

The river narrows, then sweeps out of sight (left-then right-then left); there is one small wave at mid-point (at end of right sweep – completely avoidable); be aware of overhanging branches – also, the shoals on the right or the river bank on left could collect strainers, which could be dangerous due to narrow nature of channel and the swiftness of the current at this point – at significantly higher levels the right side shoal might become covered (even passable), but most of the current would still follow the same “left-right-left” course.
