Megaslide

This is the toughest drop on Pond Brook. Shortly after Island the river drops over a double ledge with a somewhat sticky river wide hole. Right after the last ledge drop catch the eddy on river right just above the main part of the slide. The slide itself drops 30 ft within a distance of 100 feet. The main part of the chute forces paddlers through a large hole then directly into a rock with a vertical face upstream. This top of this rock is barely above the water surface at medium levels and forces the river sharply right through the final portion of the drop. This rock usually has a good pillow in front of it but still most paddlers tend to hit it. Good reason to have elbow pads.
