Approximate - nearest available gauge. Use as general reference only.
After a long (2.9 miles) flat stretch with only one minor rapids interrupting, you finally get to a significant narrowing of the river. A (sometimes) quite juicy pourover/ledge lies in the narrows. Flow heads toward a large rock island, and is diverted to the right, into a large pool. Out of the pool, the flow trips across numerous waves and holes, some of which can be pretty sweet looking. Play may be possible on a few of them, though (again) we've typically been more intent on continuing downriver on this long run.
This is followed by very nearly a full mile of flatwater, again with only minor rips interrupting.
