Description

After some nice class III boogie creekin' be on the lookout for Cindy's Hole. Boulders will split the flow in multiple slots to form two short main channels. When the channels come back together, a small horizon line will be located among some more boulders. The water pours over a flat rock forming a sticky ledge hole that feeds an overhanging rock on the river right side of the hole. The higher the level, the stickier the hole. Good downstream momentum will likely carry you through, but if you go in with no speed, get ready for a ride. High water sneaks can be had through the far left slot and far right slide. (Other names the drop goes by are 'Bill's Thrill' and 'Jaws')
