Description

As the river head toward and under the bridge for highway 565, it accelerates through a great series of ledges, waves, and holes. At moderate-to-high flows, this will be a good hanful of action! Water fans out across a final bedrock intrusion before hitting the calm of a pool just downstream of the bridge.
