Description

This 0.4 mile long class 2 (with class 1 parts) rapids ends in a pool, just above a dense, river-wide tangle of alder. Passage through has always been possible but requires attention, tight maneuvering, and some grabbing or deflecting of branches. Usually the far river-left route has been the most (often only) available route but its existence is not evident until you are close.
