Trip Report

ReporterMark Lacroix

First drop of the Warner Gorge, this one is known as the meltdown hole.

This is the normal route through the dam dropping into a strong hole at the bottom. Make sure you angle your paddle parallel with the sluice way or you could lose it, or your shoulders, when the blades get caught on top.
Just below the Dam Sluice the river drops between old bridge abutements. The left drop is more turbulant.
