Description
The Ledge/Falls on the Slate River's upper section presents a complex navigational challenge with multiple potential lines through a rocky descent. Paddlers must carefully read the water and choose their route, avoiding potential pin spots and negotiating narrow passages between partially submerged boulders. The rapid's gradient and rock formations create unpredictable hydraulics that demand precise boat control and quick decision-making.
