Description

The scout for Death Ferry and Snake Pit are on the river left, I typically scout both since there are very close together. There is also a backboard placed here on river left. 

The rapid starts on the  right side passing several large rocks on your left side. once passed the rocks you need to start making your way left. at lower levels it is very channalized and rocky so choose your line carefully it is very rocky here. at meduim flows there are plenty of seives and pin potential.
