Description

This is a one trick pony (at best). If you find the perfect 2' wide spot, it's deep enough to plug (though it doesn’t have much pop, and is very flushy). Intermediate boaters may find some mild entertainment, but understand that if you miss the 2' wide spot, you will find bottom!

Serious play boaters will likely skip it.
