Description
A 500 foot stretch of 3 or more rapids. The first is a wave at 2.1 feet or a small ledge at low levels. The second is a small but decent diagonal ledge. The third is a surf wave (shown in the picture) that might only appear at higher levels. Be careful because the log strainer is right after the third rapid. At high levels you might have to portage the second and third rapid to be safe from the strainer.
