Description
The Blackwater chills out somewhat for most of the next mile. The river has some wide shallow stretches of fun mank separating more steep, challenging boulder drops that are very fun and complex but beware some can sneak up on you. 200 yards below Flatliner, Shay's Run enters via a cascade on river left, and the long rapid that follows has some of the best boofs on the run. 1/4 mile later, Pendleton Run comes in on the right, coming off the mountain in a beautiful (unrunnable) cascade. This section is sometimes called "No Man's Land" as there are few named rapids
