Description

After the ledge downstream of Beech Falls lies the last main rapid of the run.  This is also one of the most technical.  Main flow enters center to right the cuts back to the left over a small ledge.  The left side has pin potential and the hole can be stout.

An undeveloped road exists a short distance up the hill to river right if needed.
