Description

Not really a standalone rapid, but noteworthy as a fun feature and small playspot. To catch it, run far river right after the boulder jumble below the first bridge. There is a big eddy with good service running along a low cliff face. Decent for enders in short boats. A wave forms mid-channel during most runnable flows.
