Description

Get out to scout the mini-canyon from river left. (Watch out for poison ivy!) There are huge boulders in the stream forming three drops in quick succession in just over 0.1 mile here. At high water, this can be a real handful (especially if you are in a playboat rather than a downriver boat or creek boat).
