Description

A steep continuous rapid curves gradually to the right, piles up against a cliff on the right then bounces left and drops over a 6 to 8 foot high dam.    At 750 cfs in 2003 all boaters ran the weir, but it looked sticky in spots.  Good eddies await below the weir. 

Many boaters will want to scout this whole section.
