Description

AKA "Rooster Tail ". The name "Landslide comes from a Landslide that occurred a number of years ago on the river left bank down to the river. This rapid can be run to the left of a river island through a mid-sized shoot. The shoot runs along the left side of the island and has changed a little at the top due to the landslide on river left. On the other side of the island, the right channel is straightforward, but can be bony at the bottom at low water. Due to the shifting of the current at the bottom of this rapid, the rock that formed the "Rooster Tail" (an older name for this rapid) is now out of the main current. Because of this, the name of this rapid seems to be shifting towards "Landslide."
