Description

When the roadway reappears on river left look for the Stone Bridge downstream. The river right arch is easier, taking the river left arch descent takes you through three rather sticky holes one after another. Get ready to punch your way through or work your way out of them. Most boaters chose to take out here at the bridge then shuttle around the 1.2 mile flat swampy section to the next rapid.
