Description

This Class III ledge drop features a technical entry with a sharp three-foot vertical descent and a powerful hydraulic at the bottom that can recirculate boats if not navigated carefully. Paddlers should aim for the right-center line, using momentum to punch through the hole and avoid the undercut rock on the river-left side.
