Description

The bridge and bedrock ledge concentrate flow through this short drop. At high flow (>650 CFS) the center path leads to a large sucking hole directly under the bridge. At lesser flows the hole is a sweet s-shaped path past the brink of the hole. At low flow, the rapids ends in a confusing river-wide stone-field. Be prepared to stop or back-ferry immediately after s-shape drop. The best landing is on the right after the stone field. The landing on the left is often harder to get out of your boat and on to land.
