Description

Just beyond Rok Shoks, you'll see some large house-sized boulders on river left. Use plenty of caution here, and stay away from the large house sized boulders on the left as the slots tend to collect a lot of wood at times. At high and low flows, and on first runs; bank scouting from river right is advised due to the large number of big rocks in this area, and clear lines being difficult to see from the boat. In fact, there really is no really clean line through this rapid except at high water, and even then I really don't think you could call it a clean line. Penalties could be pretty severe if you get upside down in at any time on the middle "line" of this rapid (8-10' boulder drop.)  At medium to high water you can sneak this one on river right with a little maneuvering; and a portage is probably going to be necessary  at lower levels. Just beyond this rapid hook a quick left to avoid getting hemmed up in the brush.
