Description

Identifiable by a large, old retaining wall on river-left as the river bends to the right. This rapid consists of several offset, diagonal ledges of varying retentiveness. At virtually any river level there is a large eddy about halfway down on river-left next to the retaining wall. To avoid the most significant ledges below this point, go for a somewhat tricky ferry towards river-right.
