Potomac, Laurel Fork of North Fork of South Branch

This is where the Laurel and strait forks converge to begin the nearly 50 mile long white water fun known as the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River

This rapid midway through the run marks the beginning of a mile or so of solid Class III water. Located near the confluence of Christian Run - coming in on teh right - the ledge must be negotiated near a moderately undercut rock. This is a good place for a lunch stop and also a good spot to gauge whether you will get off before dark. If you aren't here by lunchtime you may want to boogie.
