Description

This is a long rapid with a wide ledge that tends to be shallow. It can be identified by the abandoned bridge pillars on both sides of the river. The deepest route is on the right side and has nice standing waves at the bottom of the ledge. When the water is high there can be some good surfing about 200 yards below this rapid.
