Description
A fairly easy straight shot rapid at lower levels. At higher water the room for error decreases significantly. Peel out into the current from the pool just below the dam and head a bit to the right, being to far left here will probably lead to a bad line. While sliding be aware of the possibility of falling off the slide prematurely and also the chance of a speed-into-big-autoboof scenario : )
