Fourth Rocky Pitch

A brief pool follows the prior pitch, quickly followed by 0.2 mile stretch of rapids. Unfortunately, this coincides with the riverbanks becoming narrow and heavily tree-lined. Aerial view appears to show significant hazard of deadfall and snags. Proceed with utmost caution. Fortunately the river appears to stay quite straight, so you should have good view downstream. Be on the lookout for eddies and be prepared to exit when needed to portage. Following this, banks appear to widen out in a broad floodplain devoid of trees (at least, at the time the aerial views were taken). The stream slows through lazy meanders. (At moderate-to-high flows, it is likely you may be able to take some shortcuts across a number of these meanders.)
