Description
A fun riffle at low flows in a narrow, river right chute. Washes out at high flows. The initial drop is formed by a low, diagonal bedrock ledge on far river right. After the first drop, the current pushes boats further right towards another bedrock outcropping which can tip the unwary paddler.
The rest of the river channel is semi dammed by chunks of concrete and the remains of concrete pipes. There is a diversion channel on the left leading a short ways to the gravel mining operation. It appears that the gravel company has dammed the river a little bit to help divert water to their operation.
