Description

The final significant drop, S-Curve, lies in the left channel around an island. Flow wraps hard to the left, across a submerged ledge, and into a moderate-sized hole.

Old-school boaters delighted in doing 'enders' here to their hearts content. With modern playboats, it is possible to loop and cartwheel in this hole.

At low water the rock that creates the hole become more exposed and harder to surf, but there is a jetstream of concentrated water about two feet wide below the rock. It is deep here and a textbook spot to squirt.
