Description
Just as the river widens out you enter into a long series of holes and you will smell a strong odder of cow dung. I never figured out why because all that seems to be nearby is a golf course at the top of the gorge on the right. The rapid is about 50 yards long and there are plenty of holes to choose from and some have the capacity for multiple surfers. The biggest one is at the bottom of the rapid and is almost river wide.
