Description

Not far downstream, the next triple drop is found. Scout from the left. Traditional route on the first drop was well to the right, however there is a rock at the base of the drop for a serious power-piton. A bump-and-thump alternative may be found down the center or left. Second drop is usually run tight to the left wall, with a sweet launch partway through. The final drop is a short sliding ledge into a usually fairly forgiving wave/hole.

Make certain to turn and look back upstream when you finish this drop to look at the gradient you have just run. It is a wonderfully impressive sight!

Downstream, the gradient peters out and you have a (much too) long stretch of flatwater. Be aware there will be one 'false-alarm' riffle which punctuates the otherwise almost 3-mile long peaceful float.
