Description

Not far downstream, the river again bends to the left and jumps over Wag (scout right, if so inclined). This short (~3') ledge may be boofed to the right, though be aware it may be a hard landing (piton). Center is ok, though there are some rocks to contend with as well, and far left is an easy slide through a wrapping wave into strong current along a wall of rock rising from the river.

From here the current quickly diminishes, and the only action for the (roughly) 3 mile paddle-out is dodging shoals and strainers ... and talk of how good the first beer and the food at Vierling will be when we get back to Marquette!
