River Description

This section, according to John Novo, 'is a nice class 3 with a little gorge and a nice 4-5 foot drop. It also has a very nice little rock garden section that is about a 1/4 mile long and some nice surfing waves just below the Rte. 112 bridge.'

The eddy left picks you up quite well, looks scary but may as well be on rails
