Foreboding

Named by Lars Holbek, the river splits into a right hand line and left hand line coming out of the pool at the top. Both are runnable and both have their challenges and hazards.

River right is a technical line around the right side of a large boulder. The hazard is that the side of the boulder is undercut and you want to be sure not to drop sideways onto this side of the rock as you paddle past it. Also, watch for wood in this narrow channel.

River left is something of an off-axis double drop with a sticky hole at the bottom. You wouldn't be the first to take a beating here and swim out while your buddies scramble to catch your boat before it washes into the large rapids immediately downstream. A few boats have poorly suffered this fate.

On a bad day, particularly at higher flows, a swim at Foreboding could continue into Indian Point Falls. Best not to swim but, should you, swim vigorously for shore here and don't swim after your gear.
