Description

Diana's Ledge is wide 3-4 foot ledge that can be quite retentive, see Chris Bell's account by clicking the Boating Beta link on the main page to learn how the rapid got its name and the lessons of coldwater drowning. The hole can be mostly skirted by taking the sloping left to right narrow tongue found on river left.   There is a complete sneak on far river left when flows get up around 300cfs.
