Description

F-Ledge presents a straightforward Class II drop with a pronounced ledge that creates a manageable hole near the center of the channel. Experienced paddlers can choose to punch through the hole by maintaining momentum and a strong angle, or take a line closer to river right to avoid the feature entirely. While not technically complex, attentive paddlers should be aware of potential hydraulic recirculation during higher water levels.
