Description
Short Ledge presents a straightforward drop with a defined ledge creating potential hydraulic recirculation on river right. Paddlers should be prepared for a potential keeper hole at certain water levels and focus on maintaining a clean line through the center or left side of the rapid. Precise boat control and momentum are critical to successfully navigating this technical feature.
