Description

Different boaters apply the name Super Ike to different rapids. Here, the name is applied to the last significant drop on the run, just prior to a long pool that extends all the way to the Whitmore Creek river bar. The rapid is on par with Little Ike and Big Ike and features a large ledge shelf on river right that shunts the main flow to the left, necessitating some maneuvering in a dogleg bend in the current. At higher flows, it is more straightforward. Located at USGS river mile 64.4.
