Description

Stay in the main channel to run Turner's Tumbler, or cut left after Goodern Than Grits to run Jurassic.

Turner's Tumbler is a straight forward rapid at low flows with curling waves. The line is straight down the middle. Once the water reaches 4,500 CFS+, the curling waves get slightly bigger and go on for longer. However, if you're in a raft, note that the current does push you toward a bridge pylon that has capablity to pin/flip if you're not careful.

Line at higher flows is to start left and work right. There are some fun lines on the right side as well.
