These Class II rapids on the Upper New River Gorge whitewater rafting segment form near the head of Brooks Island and are located approximately three fourths of a mile downstream of Brooks Falls. The rapids may be created in part by bedrock nearing the surface of the New River. Well upstream of un-runnable Sandstone Falls, the Brooks Ledges are better known to anglers than whitewater rafters.
