Description

Width: 60'-70'   Length: 50'-200'

A set of ledges (~3-4' total drop) provide an exciting start to the run. Minor play is possible at some flows, but always limited by shallowness and vertical stone walls constricting the stream.

Two main routes are obvious (left-side and right-side), but with imagination and skill there are a number of variations!

Stone/cement steps lead to the water just downstream. Short boats easily fit parallel to the steps for exit; Longer boats will be slightly problematic. Take out, carry up, and relaunch to try multiple runs here (often to the amusement of folks in the park).
