Big Surprise

The river drops very suddenly here... and I mean suddenly! You are paddling along and all the sudden, without warning, you plunge over a steep ledge and into a big hole that's fun to surf. The hole is in center of the river. The rapid is only about 10 yards long but drops a good 5 or 6 feet. The only way to recognize this rapid is a beautiful cascading sidestream and a nice house on the river right which are just downstream of the rapid as the river makes a sharp bend to the left. Unfortunatly this awesome ledge washes out to nothing more than a few small scattered holes above 5.5 ft or so.  The bese level for this rapid is around 5.3 ft.
