Description

This is the final decet rapid of the run. There are a couple of ledges below it but they arent too challenging. The approach to this rapid is reminiscent of the Nantahala above 5500cfs while the other side is flat. At more normal flows the approach gives you a few waves but nothing extraordinary. There are a couple of lines with running near the center being one. You can see the waves at the bottom as you approach it and then run it. There is a chute on river right next to the bank that is fun and has a boof rock in it. There are several places to surf in it.
