Description

Long entry slide with about an 6-8ft drop into a "horseshoe". The entry is a small boof over 2 holes that could cause a problem, but should have enough speed coming through. The lip is a fading ledge of sorts & hard to get purchase with your paddle. The curtain does create a "cave" of sorts behind it.

A nasty hydrollic develps at high water this would be no place to get boxed in. The pool is plenty deep. Has another nice slide below. Scout river right.
