Description

Immediately below this bridge the river splits into 3 short but steep chutes. The chutes are straightforward, but the currents are boiling and turbulent where they come together. Many a beginning kayaker is tipped over at this spot. Play boaters will enjoy the strong eddy lines and whirlpools.
