Ausable

scouting right side of Elephant Rock, good idea if possible. paddler Jim Janney (red helmet pictured) ran it. he was sucked under - just before - the lip of the drop. resurfaced near islands end. said he was temporarily pinned/pinched while under. photo taken from the undercut used to scout/hike around the drop before running.

low water, taken from my boat...didn't break any rules for this shot. taken in the smoothest/steepest walled part of the chasm, as you exit, past the Hudson river co. put-in.

this will show the I-beam worth taking a look at before running. can't remember the name of the boater just finishing the run. river was almost too low, but not hard to scout at 320 cfs (a generous guess at level).
note - this was taken while scouting, and for future referance. the hazard may not be visible at higher water.
