Description
There seams to always be wood at the top of the drop on river right that requires some good paddling to miss, and then it washes in to a rock shelter. If you go too far left you might hit a shallow area. At 1.7 feet there is a surf wave on river left after the strainer. I have seen it at a low level and what forms the rapid is two ledges side by side so expect to get hit with some WW :)
