Description

Only memorable because it relieves a little of the boredom from the flatwater in this stretch. The river bends gradually to the right, with shallows on the right side, and the majority of the current along the left bank. About half way down there is a rock about 3 foot from the left shore. Go to the right of it, there is no way a raft will fit between the rock and the shore (believe me, a lot of people have tried).
