Low flow is pretty scratchy, but only a little more water (200-220 cfs) gets you solidly over everything if you pay attention.

Description

At the northwest corner of Waterfall Court Apartments.
About a 4 foot drop easily portaged on left. Run center right boofing into pool or if right side is clear of wood there's a slide to the right of the boof that pushes you to rocks and often wood on the  right side.  
Scouting is better from right atop the concrete structure to get you a good view to line up where to go over the drop but the portage on right is lots worse. Scouting from left (or during the shuttle) gives you a great view to check for wood.
Normal line is near (river) right  at right side of ripples above drop, boofing off the lip. At normal levels and done right it's a cushy landing.  At higher levels you're into the rapids below really quick.
At higher levels there's a scrapy and often woody  sneak on left.
