Description
A long straight rapid runs into the left wall forming a very large eddy on the left. It is a favorite stopping area as the eddy current will carry swimmers out to the rapid and then back to shore, round and round as long as they want. It is also a good place to swim a rapid from above as it is easy to reach the eddy. A large group campsite is on the river left also.
