Description

This is the best rapid on the run. Prior to the drop, there is about 300 yards of playful surfing waves. When you see the bridge, catch an eddy on river right. From here you can boat scout the rapid. Directly under the bridge, there is 6 ft slide. At lower levels, it is save to run it anywhere, but at higher levels there is a river wide hole. You can run it either extreme left or right. At the bottom there is an intimidating but playful hole with eddy service.
