comments	You won't go under Washup Rock in Lower Keeney...the eddy above it will grab and hold your ducky, though, while you enjoy a deep swim through the Halls of Karma downstream. Swim right to avoid the Halls and retrieve your ducky after the rapid, wherever it may have ended up. I'm a raft guide in WV and have duckied at levels as high as 8ft. above normal. Hook 99 is brutal at low levels, but the only real danger is Turtle Rock, easily recognized by the memorial plaque on the downstream side. Your real danger at low levels is Lower Railroad. There is a nasty clamshell rock about 50 feet off the left bank. Unless you know the Lower New really well, take the far right creek line; don't follow the rafts & more experienced kayakers down the left or the middle. It should be noted that the plaque that is mentioned above is on the down-stream side of the rock and is not visible from upstream.
