Description
Maria�s Rock is a large rock in the center of the river, which marks the start of the Canyon Section also known as The Narrows. The Canyon Section consists of mostly fun wave trains and a few surfing waves.
Just upstream, there is an access point from O&W Road at Pine Creek that is popular for those who are camped at the O&W railroad bridge and are only running the Canyon Section.
