The river drops over a boulder bar just downstream of the confluence of Crapo Creek, the large creek that enters on the river right. At medium to high flows, this rapid can be smoothly run down the center. At lower flows, the main channel gets rather chunky and the less obvious far left channel may provide the smoothest line, especially for smaller boats capable of navigating its tighter turns. This rapid is easily visible from the road as is the mouth of Crapo Creek and the ruins of bridges washed away in the 1955 and 1964 floods.
