Description

Before the 119 bridge there is a drop with a good boof. After you go through the old bridge abutments you can catch an eddy on river left, or slightly further down on river right to set up. The boof is in the center left, you want to be a little left of the curler coming off it to the right. If you don't feel the boof you can run down the right side.

The boof rock is used as a gauge since it can be seen from Route 119. The photo of the drop shows what a lower runnable level looks like. This was during one of the draw down releases. Everything was fluid but you could get hung up on rocks in spots if you don't pay attention
