Description

 After the two channels rejoin is the final rapid - 30 Eddy rapid; allegedly there are 30 opportunities for dedicated eddy hoppers in this rapid. 
Then out to the Potomac.  Make sure you make the left turn out to the Potomac at the bottom of this rapid because if you get to the right of the long island, you'll miss both the carry up to the canal to go back to violettes lock and the Pennyfield Lock takeout.
