Gorge Drop 1

The Gorge is a longish rapid with anywhere from four-to-seven more-or-less distinct drops (depending upon water level and how you count). You can recognize the start of the gorge by the long rock wall on river left that used to be the base of an old and long gone mill building. The first drop is known as the Meltdown Hole, if you hug the right bank by the rock you will dive deep and pop up several feet downstream.

At medium and higher levels this drop can be paddled along the left or center as well. Be aware the center route runs
from left-to-right and tends to flip boats not lined up correctly.

There is a nice large pool/eddy at the bottom of the drop where you can pick up the pieces. The pool immediately leads up to the next drop. Several more drops continue for the next 1/4 mile.
