Island

This chunky drop is on the right side of an island (which you may not even notice) and is easy to spot from Sawyers Bar Road just upriver of the 5-mile marker—especially when driving upstream. Run far right (far left also goes at medium to high flows), but avoid the middle, which remains chunked out even at higher flows. In winter, afternoon sun aligns directly with the river here, making it nearly impossible to see through the glare—hang on and have faith.
