Description

*Caution* This ledge is a pourover with a recirculating boil, similar to a Low Head dam. At high flows there is a very large recirculation boil.

Run this ledge 20-30 feet off the right bank. Don't be lazy and get caught up in the boil. At much higher flows, 1000+, you can run down the left side which is the safer option.

Note: Just downtream from this ledge is usually a large green wave that can be surfed at some levels. It's possible to catch eddies above it to set up and drop in. Be ready for it!
