Description
Jake's Ledge Hole is a riverwide ledge that has two options for running. At flows below 1,500cfs, you can run the boof line which is far left about 2 feet off the left bank. This line will land you in an eddy but, at higher flows it turns into a terminal hydraulic. I saw a boat recirculated for 15 minutes here one day. It has also been said that the left wall is undercut.
The other line is on river right beside an undercut rock. Just line up left of the rock and paddle straight through.
