Description

Just after Flat Rock, the Zoom Slide begins.  It is a series of holes on a gently sloping ledge that drops about 12 feet in about 50 yards.  You can pick up a lot of speed here.  There is a nice hole at the bottom as the ledge culminates in a big pool.  The river is wide here too, so you might scrape a lot near the minimal level.  The deepest route is on the left.  There are many great play spots from here to Concrete Falls.
