Description

After a half mile of moving and flat water the river will narrow and start to drop. Get out and scout on the right. The trees and bushes are very dense on river left and you won't be able to see the hole you want to avoid at the bottom. The river then opens and becomes class III for about 150ft and then narrows again.
