Description

About 400 yards below Upper Minefield, you will come to another boulder strewn section of read and run fun.  I'm not sure where Lower Minefield really starts or ends but after about 250 yards of fairly continuous rapids the action will mellow into a pool that is about 100 yards long, where the left bank is blocky and exposed.  You should notice a few CFS disappearing into the ground here.
