Description

A jumble of holes, waves, and rocks, culminating in Horseshoe Hole itself. A large rock blocks the left side of the river, Horseshoe Hole is in the center, and a tight right run splits the "goalpost" rocks on river right. Horseshoe Hole is shallow, rocky, and recirculating and has injured several people and killed at least one. Stay right of it.
