Description

Just to the right of 'The Corner' lies 'The Slide'. The cement of the dam has a fine dip and lip, which will launch you into a great 'boof' into the pool below. It may be a bit difficult (from your boat, above the drop) to tell if you are lined up correctly. Take careful note of 'markers' to hit this spot!
