Description
Below Split Hair is a large eddy on river right which provides a great place to pick up the pieces of any swim. You don't want to swim on the left as you'll immediately wash into Pinball Rapid which is full of rocks and holes. It's only class III, but any swim will likely leave one sore and bleeding. Rescues are particularly difficult due to the nature of the rapid which require constant rock-dodging by any rescurer.
Judy's Hole (in Pinball Rapid). Also called "Mail Slot Hole"; this feature two-thirds of the way thru Pinball Rapid is a deep, meaty hole that attracts rafts for surfing. Smaller boats it sometimes eats.
