Description
This rapid is less steep than the first 3 but it is steep enough and it goes for almost a half mile. Boaters will need constant manuvering, hole dodging and boofing for the entire distance. At 800 cfs it did not feel like a big deal and felt broken up into separate sections. At 1100 cfs it felt serious and was one continuous rapid. A swim could be long and I was thankful for a good combat roll in a small hole about 1/3 of the way down.
