Big Drop

Description

This bedrock slide is the biggest natural drop on the run (the steepest big drop being the dam/gate). Re-engineering (2021/2022) has narrowed the flow between short vertical cement walls (rather than the large granite boulders which previously funneled the flow). This feature is now alterable to be either a fast wave-with-pile or more of a retentive hole. The outflow current still rips very strong thru the pool below. Good eddies exist to both left and right, but you have to charge hard to break out of the current or it will take you quickly over the next boulder-choke/drop.

Many years back this was the primary hole for competitions. With this modification, boaters again are likely to queue up to play this feature.
