Description
Shortly after 1st Trestle comes the Crib. This rapid is formed by the old dam cribwork that can still be seen on the river right side of the channel. At medium and high water (greater than 500 cfs) a rather beefy hole forms on river left. Keep a straight line and run down the middle. At low water (less than 400 cfs) a good wave forms at the crib and can be accessed from a large rock on river left (which incidently forms the hole at higher water levels). Also, at low water levels, a long line of shallow pinning rocks become exposed on river right just after the Crib. Paddle far downstream to catch the eddy on river right.
