Description

Can portage on the right or left. The rapid is a series of small ledges followed by a long slide into a 12ft boof with a small slide below. Somewhat of a "C" shape. The whole thing might drop around 30ft or more. The landing is somewhat shallow as well. Make sure to scout on either side as wood sometimes collects near the bottom. You'll have a lot of speed on this one as the name says.
