Description
The Third Ledge is usually cleanest in the center right. At usual water levels there is also a left to right slide that can avoid a stern thumping and that can set up a nice surf. It warrents a Class III- rating because it can be sticky.
Caudy's Castle is a visible rock outcropping on river left about a quarter mile below the third ledge.
