Description

Next the river crosses under the South Jefferson Street Bridge. Then it drops over three neat features.

First is hole that can be nasty at lower water levels (500-800 cfs). Some paddlers call it “V-Notch”, others call it "Twister". The sneak route is river right. In the center, the water splits into two tongues, and then come back together. Most people ride the right tongue. The left tongue is steep, and then dives under the right tongue. Some people also run the “hero line” – far river left.
