Description

About a quarter-mile into the light rapids, a large rock splits the flow, with a bit of a ledge/drop either side. Passage is possible either side, but you'll likely want to give the rock wide berth, as it forms a sticky hole at some flows. This rock also serves as your signal that 'The Canyon' lies just ahead, with the two meatiest drops of the run: Triple Drop and Nakomis.
