Description
At the confluence of two creeks, this rapid features a steep, technical drop with a complex boulder garden requiring precise maneuvering between sharp rocks and potential undercut hazards. Paddlers must navigate a series of powerful diagonal waves and a tight central channel that can create challenging hydraulics, with the primary line running just right of center to avoid a recirculating hole on the river left.
