Description

At most water levels there are a series of easy chutes along the right shore, but at really low water, stay with the main current at center left.  Most notable for being the original takeout (river right at a layered rock that looks, from just upstream, like a stack of Pancakes) for the Lower Yough before the railroad closed the at-grade crossing after the 1976 boating season following a train derailment in the mid 1970's.
