Description

After a long section of slow flat water the river picks up speed with a fairly long class 1 to 2 lead in.  Suddenly it plummets down a steep but clean ramp.    This is the last of the big class 3 drops in this section and though it is the easiest, it may have the most vertical of them all.   Unfortunately it appears out of the lake for the shortest duration and may not show at all in some years. 

 

The mileage is just an estimate at this time, while the location marker is also very approximate.   The actual location could be a few hundred yards upstream or downstream.
