Description

*Caution* This ledge is a pourover with a recirculating boil, similar to a Low Head dam. At high flows there is a very large recirculation boil. 

 

This small ledge is ran down the far right side. At much higher flows, 1000+, you can run down the left side also. Don't be lazy and get caught up in the boil.

 

*Picture is 1500 cfs*
