Description

About a mile-and-three-quarters of generally flatwater paddling from the listed put-in brings you to the best stretch of rapids on this section of river. It appears there may be a couple good ledge/wave/holes to start, and possibly some nice waves/riffles/rips for a ways downstream.

It appears there are unimproved roads either side of river which may provide access to this location for inspection, and possible park-and-play (if features merit).
