Description

Lower Indian Crossing is a fairly short ledge-style drop but with a pillow rock that forces the flow hard to the left. At low to medium flows the boating line cuts right to left immediately in front of the boulder. If there's enough water pillowed on the rock, the pillow can be banked or boofed. The pillow rock is submerged at high water and at flows above about 7,000 the line is to the far right of the boulder and ledge. There's a short pool at the bottom left then a bouldery drop follows quickly.
