Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportI included a look at this section as part of a 2016 Memorial Weekend outing. As shown in photos uploaded and linked into features/rapids detail, at a gauge reading while I was there of 660 cfs (below the powerplant at the end of the bypassed/boatable reach), this looked very boatable . . . even a bit meaty/juicy in places. (I didn't boat it since it was late in the day and I was eager to get someplace for dinner.)
Smoothest down the middle, a bit dicey (depending upon flow) to the left.
Very similar to the second ledge sequence, with the likely 'best' route down the middle, and potentially sticky ledge/holes to river-left.

Thomas Bernard at the put in. The eddy and hole below the dam are very powerful.
