At first, the use of "section" seemed useful to consider. The tag "whitewater:section_name" has not been defined in the Wiki but might be adapted to this issue. However, the word "whitewater" would be misleading IMO because this is a flat river that whitewater enthusiasts would not seek out. Also, like place=locality it doesn't give any indication that this is a bend or curve in a river.
I keep coming back to Martin's place=river_bend. Adding a name=Harper Bend along with that tag would solve the problem in a straightforward manner, would not be confused with the specialized whitewater tagging schemes and would be relatively easy to implement. A look at Taginfo tells me that the "place" key has been misused quite a bit but I think place=river_bend would be a logical and easily understood new use of the key.
