Description

An alternate putin or P&P spot.
Heading West on 13 from I-81, take a Right onto Lewis Rd.
Park at the end of the field road and carry down the narrow path, making sure you rub poison ivy all over your legs for good luck. There's a great play wave right there at the putin. Either paddle to the end of the field and carry back up, or run the river to Black Hole.

This is a long, fun rapid with good surf. There are several smaller surf waves at the top. One wave on river left has decent eddy service.

Halfway down the rapids there’s a series of two big holes. These are called Dead Rock Star.

There are two great waves at the bottom of the rapid, called the Woodcutter Waves.
