Trip Report

ReporterJeff Macklin

Know where this place is or go with someone who does. Don't stumble into it! There is a (very) scrapy sneak (at low to medium levels) on river left or portage on either side. The large log that was reference in the 2001 river report washed out in the summer of 2003. This boater is removing newly deposited wood.
Kurt is almost into a sticky side surf and manages to pull out. In this drop you paddle into approx. 8x12ft squirrelly water rock enclosed box with a 5-7 ft wide exit. At higher flows the box is much more turbulent and the exit becomes smaller. There is a 'V' notch sneak to river right of the 'Room'
