Sledgehammer

Description

Sledgehammer is often the crux of the run the best line depends on flows. At 2000 cfs start left and you will see the first big hole that covers the whole middle to right side of the river. This drop is called Bird Drop. Once past this feature, work back to the middle quickly, run the big rooster tail, then work your way back to the left. The river lets you catch your breath for a moment before pulling back in before two large holes, run similar as before with bow left angle staying out of the holes in the middle. At high flows only the strongest will want to venture to the center although though it washes out above 4000 cfs. Be careful with the eddy in the middle and the rock at the bottom known as Tractor Beam due to its tendency to pull boats into it when guides aren't paying attention.
