Description

A long wave train precedes this deceptively nasty hole, which is difficult to see the full force of until the paddler arrives at the scene. It is best to stay river left or far river right to avoid getting into trouble. This hole has a reputation for keeping boats and swimmers, especially with medium and high flows.
