Description

Rocks and holes and maybe a tree in the middle encourage boaters to enter far right. The rapid curves gradually to the left past an overhanging right wall.  Boaters must paddle to stay away from the overhanging right wall, without going so far as to end up in a big hole on the bottom left side.
