Description

An island splits the flow. The right trips across a fun double-ledge of drops that is the usual choice at low to moderate flows. At flows below 5-600 the left is a narrow, generally congested (rocky) channel that is not runnable. At flows about 700 the left channel becomes runnable At very high flows (1350 cfs), the left side becomes the runnable route and the right is not because the current and wave train on the right goes straight into the woods below the drop. At such high levels, take out well above the drop to scout, because the ferry from river right to river left becomes difficult at high water. Scouting of the left channel can also be done from the hike-in trail off of West River Rd before starting the entire run.
