Description

A footbridge across the river marks the start of the steepest rapid on this section. The river drops about 50 feet in a quarter mile creating a long and steep class 5 boulder garden rapid.  The creek comes in just below the steepest part of the rapid, but the gradient only gradually tapers off over 4/10ths of a mile.   A trail on river left should provide a convenient portage route.
