Description

Broken Nose is rated Class III+ between 1,200 and 1,600 cfs. The approach is shallow so look for the green water and avoid rocks. Pile up occur in the approach. If you get stuck senior guides will have no mercy! Be aware of the shallow rocks in the approach. Meet the seam in S-wave square and maintain your left boat angle with a right draw stroke (lefties will use a pry stroke) as you drop into the breaking wave. Don't point at the river right bank. If you get hung up on the rocks along the river right banks because you failed to maintain left boat angle Look Upstream.
