Fourth Slide

Description

After the Third Slide there is a small pool on the left above a boulder Rapid called 'Limbo' which has some fun eddies to catch but often collects wood. This leads you directly onto the Fourth slide, which is best entered in the middle pointing left. This is the shallowest slide and you will probably be scraping a little, even at high flows these days. Most people catch the big eddy on the left below the Fourth Slide and then ferry to the right, but you can also make the turn directly into The Carving Board, but there are several submerged rocks that make this a tricky race line. The Third/Fourth Slide sequence is the most technical part of the Fishladder proper.
