Description

After Snapdragon, the gradient decreases a bit, but there are still modest standing waves. Then the gradient picks up and the waves get larger. Most boaters just run the wave train. On the left side of the river is a "slalom" route with a couple slalom moves and an optional punchable hole or two. 

Between Rollercoaster and Lost Guide is the Playgrounds, a series of Class II/II+ waves that offer plenty of play spots for all boaters.
