Description
This rapid, located under the O&W Railroad Bridge, consists of several waves including one large one. Run this one straight down the middle.
The O&W Railroad Bridge can be used as a take-out thus, eliminating the last 2 miles of flat water. There are also several camp sites at both ends of this bridge.
