Description
The river suddenly takes a sharp right over a steep gravel bar, and then makes an abrupt left to avoid flowing into the roadway.  Take care in picking a line. At high water, the current will try and put you directly into the (ragged concrete) river right bank, which would love to borrow a good deal of your unprotected skin.
