Description

Nies' Pieces is immediately downstream of Scream Machine. There are a number of options and a large pool to set up in on the right. If the flow is high enough, you can run the previous slide left and paddle straight over the shelf into Nies'. At lower flows, you can access the river left channel via a center chute of flow travelling left. Try your best to avoid the left wall at the bottom by pointing back right.

You may run the right side as well, though it is rather dry at lower flows. Most would run it 5-12' off the right wall heading left, dropping the bow slightly.

There is a large pool here for recovery.
