Blind Left Bend

Just downstream of Skylight Ledge (where the creek did about a 90-degree right-turn), you'll head toward a blind, 90-degree left-turn. The water will accelerate down a fine set of rips through a bit of a dells area. 

At low flows, this will be rather shallow. The streambed is littered with slab rock, meaning anyone upside-down or out of their boat will likely be punished and pummeled severely. There are (no doubt) plenty of spots where foot-entrapment is a possibility (for anyone who tries to stand in the stream). 

At moderate-to-high flows, there will be strong current leading into this bend, and even stronger as soon as you round the bend. There will be no eddies, and no reasonable way to exit the river. This area has been prone to having overhanging branches or over-arching trees, and can have wood hung up on shore and rocks. For this reason, it is virtually mandatory to hike down to this point (before putting on) to scout this whole area to be sure of safe passage.
