Rapid CA Class III+

Eddy Alley

Salmon - Butler Creek to Brannons Bar (CA)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 1,200.0 – 4,500.0 CFS
Description

With bedrock walls lining both banks, the river gains speed as it heads to a short but steep drop at the end of this rapid. Numerous eddies line the rock wall banks, making this a slalom course for those who want it. One of the best surf waves on the river it at the bottom where the river narrows down (optimal at 1100-2200 cfs). Be sure to catch the eddy on the right in the fast runout from the steep drop to access this wave.
