After safely navigating the first two ledges in the river-right line the kayaker should paddle on toward the falls and then take a left turn through a diagonal en route to the drop at the far left. Be sure not to get caught on the exposed rock at low to mid levels as it could force you over the falls in the middle of the rapid which are very bony and present a pinning situation for your kayak or a broken ankle for you.
