Description

There is a low head dam just upstream of the bridge. There is a sneak route river left and the ledge can also be boofed river right. I don't recommend running the middle. It is very retentive. There is also a class 2 rapid just below the dam.  The the take out is in the eddy on river left underneath the bridge.
