Description

There are a few rapids in the area now, but most importantly CSX created a new rapid when they filled in most of the river with rocks, forcing all of the water into a 5 foot drop with a nasty hole and undercut. Scout right. Paddlers are running down the left tongue with some left angle at low flows, and are running right of the undercut at medium and high flows.
