The Flume

'The Flume' - When you see some large boulders in center of the river, and a horizon line that's partially missing, get over to river right to get out and scout.

Here you get to choose your doom... On river left, there's a chute that features a narrow rapid that abruptly drops at its end for a total of maybe five feet into a weird, twisted, boiling hole.  It's runnable, but not recommended as the cleanest/safest route.

The center route is a tumble down a bunch of boulders to the bottom. It's very shallow, has a lot of pinning potential, and doesn't look like much fun, though it's probably runnable with more rain then you get during an average release from Lake Roland.

On river right, there's a six foot flume/waterfall that has to be the funnest thing on the river, though it's a tough scout since a weedy bank obstructs the actual drop. It's best hit on the far right, where a little wave is trying to pile up at the top. If you can get some speed and boof it here, you may not get that wet. However, most often, you get drawn back into the center pile, submerged up to your eyeballs (or beyond) in white froth, and spit out (or backendered) into a swirling eddy of garbage that includes beer cans, shopping carts, and some other items you'll just have to see for yourself to believe.  Keep your mouth closed here. This pool is, however, a great place to re-gather should you crash and burn.
