Description

Quarter Mile Rapid has a tighter channel with continuous pool and drop features that can be boat scouted along the way, eddy hopped and dropped with continuous amusement at low to moderate flows. The actual length of the rapid is about 1/2 mile. At higher flows, the drops blend together and there is the great danger of being swept into North Fork Falls.
