Description

As is the case with the majority of features on this course, trucked-in granite boulders have been emplaced to create a pourover/hole. Decent eddies exist to each shore. Immediately after this drop, the channel takes a bend to the left, meaning current heads toward (and is deflected by) the river-right shoreline. Boaters coming off/out-of the feature in control should have no problem breaking out into an eddy (river-left or river-right) for repeat play. Those failing a roll attempt or two will most likely be flushed past a minor wave/drop downstream and will be unable to regain this feature.
