Description

Midway down along an area where the river-left bank has been re-sculpted (circa 2015), where numerous saplings have been planted, be on the lookout for a large center-stream rock which is cleft perpendicular to the flow.

At low-to-moderate flows (under 1000 cfs or so), there will be water flowing through the cleft, which is barely boat-width. It can be a cute and funky maneuver to charge (from river-right) toward the slot to try to funnel through the crease, trying to avoid a knock-down or boat-pin. (It's a fairly benign spot to release from and recover, if you are not entirely successful in your endeavor.)
