Description
Take-out is possible river-right, midway down an area lined by quarry rock, though convenience of egress is dependent on water level:
At flows under 1000 cfs, eddy river-right in slackwater and attempt to moor your boat against a rock. Carefully get out of your boat, holding onto it or having a buddy do so, to carefully stand onto the rocks. Pick up or drag your boat across the rocks to the paved area. You need to be VERY careful walking across these irregular-shaped quarried rock. A slip or fall will be painful!
As flows near or exceed 1000 cfs, from a ways upstream paddle tight to the right bank, sliding down a paved shoulder, and into slackwater for your exit. (You will not have to deal with the rock rubble shoreline!)
At higher flows (near and above 1400 cfs) all rocks will be well covered, and you can easily charge the break in the wall for your landing.
Most folks will continue downstream for a couple of additional features.
