Description
After the play hole you can head down stream a few yards and there you will meet up with some boogie water. Avoid rocks and catch the small holes and waves that form at different levels. If you do flip over make sure to tuck. Other wise be ready to slide your face down some rocks. At the Tire Swing there is a nice eddy/flat water to play in. There is a take out on river left. Follow the high water mark (Looks like a dry river bed) back up to the Last Drop. (be carefull the tire swing tree has just fell down and is half in the water)
