Description

Just below the large pool in front of the beach at Henningsen Lotus Park, an island separates the left and right flows. The left channel is most straightforward. It consists of a large, smooth tongue leading past the the island towards a pyramid shaped rock (the fang) downstream. It can be boofed on either side or avoided. Options to avoid the fang are either to eddy out to the right below the island or to go around the left of the fang. The latter choice will require the paddler to move right aggressively after the fang to avoid low hanging branches. The right channel consists of a series of 1-2 foot ledge drops. A small reversal is located at the top of the channel on the right. Once below the reversal, the ledge drop is graded with the biggest on the left and smallest on the right. The ledges become a sizable hole at higher flows.
