Description

This is the longest and most defined wave train on the run.  Look for a wave/hole located left of center about 2/3rds the way down the rapid.  Depending on the river level you can eddy out and surf or catch it on the fly.  The rapid is named after the Catholic Retreat Center located on river left.
