Description

The current is pushed to the far river left by a large cobble bar here and this constriction helps form a nice set of standing waves. At lower flows there is eddy access one of the upper waves via a river left eddy. The Karuk name for Three Dollar Bar, the flat on river left, is ishvínnipich.
