Description

Small class 1 on river right. It is situated between 2 islands with trees that create a nice small green water wave at all levels. This creates a nice defined eddy line to warm up on at the 1 mile mark. At lower levels it can get really boney right after the green wave.(Update:The tree in the middle is no longer standing)
