Description
This rapid is somewhat inconveniently located if you are taking out at the Butler Creek River Access. In order to reach the take-out, you must enter this rapid and move quickly the left to reach the boulder bar that separates the rapid from the pool of Butler Creek where the take-out is located. At higher water levels it is possible to paddle over the boulder bar to the take-out pool but, more often, you will need to get out and carry over the bar then get back in at the pool.
