Description

Greater flow appears to go left of an island at this location, lesser flow goes to the right. Check out each for possible run/play. After a brief pool, the gradient picks up again. The river drops more than 20' in less than a half-mile (from above the island to the end of the boulderbed below the mid-pool). OK, that's not major gradient, but it should be good for some good low-grade rapids.
