Description

If you can, try to stay center-to-right on the tail-end of the Fourth Slide, where the flow should be deeper.

You will want to get out pretty immediately and carry back up to the bridge, since downstream you will encounter only deadfalls, snags, maybe a riffle or two, then slackwater down to the next road bridge and the lake.
