Description

Immediately after NF rapid there is a short drop on river left, "The Falls". Just below is a semi-truck sized bedrock formation, "50-50 Rock", which guards the left side. Water flows over 50-50 Rock at around 15,000 cfs, forming a huge hole. Boaters can safely run the wave train down the center past these two formations, or explore the left side possibilities. Sidewinder proper is a wide bouldery shoal with numerous routes. The easier routes are to the right and the more exciting routes are to the left. Scout from the road.
