Description

Remnants of a broken dam (formerly called "Car Dealer Dam") create a straightforward rapid. The low-water crossing just downstream of the old dam should be fully submerged-- and thus should not present a hazard-- at all runnable levels, but always use caution around low-water crossings. Scout & portage on river left if necessary.
