Description

Shawn's Hole is an almost river wide shale slide that drops into an almost river wide hole. The muchiest part of the hole (center) can be avoided by either running down the typical left side, or far right side. This hole can be a lot of fun at some levels, and very muchy and sticky at higher levels. It's a great play spot, with good eddy access and a very large washout if you get flipped.

Note: Formerly known as Shale Hole, the Shawn's Hole namesake comes from Shawn Yingling and the countless hours of spinning he's done in this shallow feature. It's possible he's there spinning still, as you read this.
