Description
This rapid should be scouted (easily boat scouted on river right) by first-timers and portaged on river-right if the line is not apparent. The unnatural pipeline across the river forms a potentially dangerous hydraulic in the middle which should be avoided. There is a line on river left that can usually be successfully and safely run. Start left (about 10 feet off the left shore) over the drop then make your way to the middle to avoid a nasty rock garden.
