Description

The creek drops through a narrow defile into a small pool. Paddlers then have to climb the eddy fence to boof over a very narrow slot into a narrow pool. The recirculation in this bottom pool could be bad, so set a safety next to it on river right.
The whole drop plus 3 smaller drops can be portaged on the river left side. The best scout is on the right and the only safety spots are also on the right side.
