Description

You will know you are here by Camp Branch Falls coming out of the mountain on river right.  There is a big eddy at the top of this rapid.  At lower flows, the main line is to make kind of an 'S'.  Start in the middle, boof a small pourover rock, work your way right to slide down the slanted rock into fluffy water.  At higher flows, you can run the middle line or the wave train on the right.  The boof on the left is not spectacular, but doable.  You'll have to work your way back right for the next rapid.
