Le Chapeau melon (Bowler Hat)

A delightful rapid. The rapid gets its name from the melon-shaped rock in the center of the river at the top. At medium or high levels follow the right side, moving to the center then right again. At low levels go left a the top then cross over to the right at the bottom. Scout from river-left and get a good look at the bottom before running this drop, the route is far-right (a far-left small drop also exists). There is a dangerous whirlpool (which might be caused by a sieve) just above the center of the waterfall at the bottom. At the bottom the waterfall in the center has created a hollowed-out-room underneath that can trap swimmers.
