Popple

Submerged, cross-river, flow-stopping bedrock wall, 10-feet downriver from the drop, at normal flows, produces a hole that gets REAL retentive! It is NOT recommended as a playspot. This hidden feature pushes almost the entire outflow from the hole from left to right. Just above the drop, deflected current is running right to left. This combo of opposing tail-push and bow-push tends to spin boats broadside in the hole. Contrary to previous details on this page, it is not possible to touch bottom and stand up in the hole (I have tried at low water). Rescue rope extraction from the hole (by experience paddlers) has occasionally proved to be difficult, nearly fatal.
