Birth Canal

Birth Canal (4'): Just around the bend from Potawatomi, the river is squeezed into a narrow slot and over a short, but decidedly ugly pourover. Water boils up throughout the length of the pool (about 40'?) before Gorge Falls. It is hard to imagine a boater escaping the boiling backflow in this drop at most water levels. While I have heard of a run of this (though I have no idea at what flow), most boaters at most levels would do well to be certain to stay well clear of this drop.
