Description
Short Ledge presents a straightforward drop with a small ledge creating a short but potentially technical sequence. Paddlers should be prepared for potential hydraulics near the ledge and maintain precise boat positioning to avoid potential pinning or broaching points. Scout recommended, especially at varying water levels.
