Skylight Ledge

PlayspotClass II+44.42650, -87.93990

Description

From the recommended put-in (below Fonferek Falls), the river slides down sloping bedrock, forming numerous small waves. As you head toward a cliff/wall ahead of you, you'll encounter a steeper slide into a small ledge. Overhead at this location, there is a 'skylight' -- a hole in the overhanging (high overhead) cliff wall. At some flows, this could get 'sticky'. At some flows, there may be some play possible here, since there is a bit of a pool and eddies. However, the creek takes a sharp turn to the right so the outflow does head strongly toward the wall, meaning that if you flip, you had better roll quickly or you'll be against the wall, and flushing out of the pool into the next sequence of gradient.
