Description

Also known as "Broadway"; this rapid is wide, shallow, and just as the name implies, a straight shot right down the center. Also called "Big Boulder" after the huge rock on river-right near the bottom.


The channel is to the left of the boulder, however there is a nice slot along the right side of the boulder as well.


There are several nice surfing waves at the bottom of the rapid.
