Description

The most significant drop on the run recognized by the talus field on river left that marks the approach. A couple different options are available depending on flows, any wood hazards which often lurk in this drop, and what you identify as your preferred line. Scouting is genearlly recommended. Below this drop the river continues with great class IV action that gradually mellows out as you reach the railroad bridge where the river transitions to class III.
