Description

A split in the river signals First Island. The usual line is to the right of the island, where the river enters some light rapids, then turns to the left and drops about 4' down a moderately steep flume, leading to some easy rapids in the run-out.

The left channel also begins with light rapids but the final drop of 4'-5' is a boulder jumble which should be scouted before running. The usual line here is a boof off a rock right-of-center. This channel is prone to catching deadwood, so a strainer may be present here.
