Description

A pretty straight forward rapid except for the huge undercut on river center-right. The rock is more undercut on each end than in the middle.  At most levels over 800 CFS it is a tasters choice, (go where you want), it is shallow across the entire river and the slot on the left of the undercut feeds into it somewhat if you take that line.  At low levels right is the only line and there is potential pinning spot where a beginner boater could get themselves into trouble.
