Long Shoal

Long Shoal  This rocky shoal immediately below the Lower Keener Eddy is the longest shoal on the river. It is narrow and resembles a "chute" and is quite turbulent at high flows. The most difficult part of running a boat through this shoal is that the majority of the water is being pushed right against a rock ledge, as seen in the pictures below, making it hard to stay clear of that ledge. While it is not actually a continous shoal, it consists of a series of shoals separated by small pools of water. This shoal leads to the Perrine Ford, just above the Willis Long Plout.
