Unnamed ledge

RapidClass II-39.78019, -76.31497

Description

The next unnamed rapid (II-) takes a sharp right turn and is approximately 1/2 of a mile downstream of the gorge. This rapid you enter right of center, as you drop over the first small ledge which turns into the main flow. Catch the river left eddy above the large undercut rock the blocks the flow on the left side of the creek. At medium levels, you will find small surfing waves in the middle of the creek. The remainder of the rapid can be run starting from the river left eddy, peeling out into the main current and working your way to the middle of the creek. Below the large undercut rock, catch the large river left eddy. This eddy has a powerful upstream circulation to it and will keep you busy if you are trying to rest. From this left eddy you can execute stern squirts and there is also a neat attainment move that allows you to move slightly above the large undercut rock, where a small side surfing hole exists.
