Description

After passing under Hwy.Z, a brief paddle brings you to the second large, wooded island. Take the left channel here and you will find a very sweet constricted dells. This can be run pretty much right down the middle, through a fine series of waves and small holes. At moderate to high flows, the waves and holes will build, and boaters may enjoy a roller-coaster ride, or work the rapids by catching some eddies as you break up this flume/drop.
