Description

The rapid formerly known as Johnson Branch has consumed the gradient once occupied by Pincushion and formed a fun, twisting flume down the right side of the river bed here.

Entrance options vary with flow, as the river filters through some shoal-type rocks right of midstream. Most boaters opt for the left entrance of the right channel, with low water forcing a tight left-to-right move through a slot. Once the river reconvenes, it drops into a low-angle sort of V-wave best run on the left to avoid the moderately undercut right bank. At this point, the final drop will send you back right and into a pool.

Easy boogie resumes below for a short distance.
