Description

After a short pool below The Anvil, the river turns right and drops over Beaver Drop, Second Canyon's rear guard. A large tongue right-of-center seems to be the path of least resistance at almost every level.
After Beaver Drop the river mellows, but one final wave train immediately above the takeout is fun and has good surfing at medium levels.
