Description

As the river takes a right-hand-bend, a series of sweet waves is encountered, leading to a decent hole toward river-left. A couple big rocks here alter the flow to create some good play waves and holes.

 

Playboaters will spend considerable time here (sometimes not bothering to even go downstream, but instead carry back to the put-in).
