Description

The river takes a sharp right, pours across a short irregular ledge, about a hundred yards down a 'hallway' through a couple offset diagonal waves, before dropping through another hole which will give most boaters a good shot-in-the-chest/face and completely stall their momentum. While it may flip you, at levels up to 350cfs it has not seemed overly retentive. A large pool and eddy lies below.
