Black Rock Dam aka Rock Slide

Description

class II+ with class 4 consequences. Portage if you don't have faith in your brace. 8 feet high 60 ft long: Run the rock slide at river left, start at middle of left half of river, get shot left, stay 4 ft from bank. Not much maneuvering here, somewhat a crapshoot whether you bump anything. If you flip, you will get scraped up. Do not run next to the sluice as there is rebar. Below 3 feet it's too shallow, but if you don't mind boat abuse boucing down can beat getting out.

Below ~3.5 ft, you can take out on top of the dam near river right and carry right; At higher water, take out 100 feet before the dam on right and take the path behind the dog park

Rocks are slicker in the summer.

Jets and big-waterish swirlies below dam.
