Description

After passing the Findlay St bridge, the river splits in two around an island. Go right, following the current (the left side is too shallow usually). The current will carry you around to a gap between two islands, at which point you'll switch over to the left side (again, following the current). This part is simple Class I moving water, but as you reach the end of the second island, you enter a stretch of Class II boogie water that lasts for a short while. At common summer levels, you can bump up against some submerged rocks here. Once you're through this, you're home free.
