Description

This rapid is very dependent upon water levels. At higher water there is an easy line down the right side involving little more than punching a wave. At low water, the right side is dry, so you need to make a sharp left turn above a large rock, but this move is fairly easy at low water because there is not much current into the large rock. This rapid is hardest at moderately high levels when the right side is too low to run, but there's significant current into the large rock as you make the left turn. Usually class II, but class III at certain water levels. There is a tree root strainer on river left immediately below this rapid.
