Description

Another beefy ledge hole; this one likes to regurgitate logs. If you’d rather avoid the hole, there is a junky line on river right that opens up at higher flows, but this brings an undercut into play. Lumberjack is the last rapid before the Devil’s Creek Road bridge. Takeout on the left just after the bridge, or continue downstream to the Big South Fork.
