Description

Immediately downstream of the Big Drop there is another drop. There are at least 3 routes. Far river left is easy but it is only safe at higer flows: Scout closely from up close! There is a nasty sharp rock at face level sticking in the extremely narrow channel. The center channel is the most fun at moderate to high levels, but be sure to scout that also, especially at lower levels. The far right channel seems to be runnable at all levels. It is only way to go at extremely low levels. Beware of hole that may form here at higher levels.
