Description

A long series of class II in two sections. The first section starts with an eddy on the right and is easy read-and-run down the middle for about 300 yards. After the first section you pass an A frame house and the river makes a 90 degree turn to the left. The rapid continues as the river bends to the left for another 300 yards.
