Description

The biggest waves you will see on this reach at lower levels is this river left drop of about 6-7 ft. Beware of the nasty keeper hole just to the right of this traditional river left line. It can be compared to Maytag in Upper Railroad (NRG). Beginners should run the rapid in the center.  Picture of center line
