Description

Another big rapid that in some ways is just a continuation of Starts With A Bang. For many years the remains of Lookout Creek Bridge gave this rapid its name but through a joint effort of Washington Kayak Club, American Whitewater, and the Forest Service the massive steel girders, salvaged from the failed Tacoma Narrows Bridge, were removed from the river. This drop remains a demanding class V rapid that only increases in intensity as flow levels rise.
