The Straight-away

There is nothing but swift moving water from the undercut wall and the sharp left bend downstream.

This stretch of river is subject to deadfall which can span the river, blocking passage (as shown in the photo). It is also subject to significant overhanging shrubbery.

BE SURE TO SCOUT THIS AREA AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE PUTTING ON to assure you can get through!

The photo was from between 2023 and 2025, when this stretch was totally IMPASSABLE! High water has removed most of what is shown in the photo, but new deadfall blocks shore-to-shore as of March 2026! Always scout this stretch before putting on, because any downed wood can totally block passage, and finding an eddy and getting out of the river will be difficult through here.
