Rapid CA Class III

The Narrows

Salmon - Butler Creek to Brannons Bar (CA)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 1,200.0 – 4,500.0 CFS
Description

True to its name, this is a very narrow spot on the Salmon River. Depending upon flow, it may or may not be the narrowest spot (other contenders are Bloomer Falls, the Angel Wings at the bottom of Freight Train, and the pinch at the bottom of Black Horn). A set of beautiful boulders and bedrock walls set up a fun course for pivot turns, screw ups, and splats.
