Jesse, Luke and I did N. Anna this afternoon, PFD for me, 350 CFS dam release, scrapey braided 1-2 stuff for the most part, but the there is an honest to God 3+4 series of drops 1.5 miles before the f/w to the takeout. Sorta like the Kitchen at that level. But you have to paddle 9 miles to do it. Better than 100000+ cfs at Bloomington, I can't imagine.

I hear there are some must-make moves on that rapid. Is it this one?

No, that's the left side, the right side has the nice drops.

I'm jealous! The Falls is really fun but, as you noted, you have to paddle a lot of flat water for a little bit of excitement.
