Woodstock Squeeze

Shortly after the put in is the second most difficult drop on this section of river. The Pemi, East Branch, and Lost rivers converge at the put in then makes a hard right up against a steep bouldered bank narrows to about 20 feet wide then takes a hard left. Shortly after this hard left a large boulder sits midstream of the narrowed channel. Avoid it by going to the right or left otherwise it can easily pin your boat. At medium levels there is an eddy on river right just before the sharp left turn. Catch this eddy for an easier line through the rest of the rapid. Carry river left should you decide this drop is too much to start with.
