Description

At a spot with steep rockwall to the left, as the river sweeps in a round-house right, with gravelly shoals to the inside (right) shore, it appears to trip across a ledge/wave which could (at some flows) offer fine play.

Just downstream on the left, as the shoreline flattens, there appears to be a double-track very near shore. However, this appears to be on an inholding (private property, rather than being within the public lands of the Copper Falls State Natural Area), so permission from that property owner would likely need be secured to use this point of exit.

Additional light boulderbed rapids continue intermittently downstream.
