Description

This is a great run on the north side of Lauck’s Island. Enter from several places on river left below the Embrey Dam remains. General about 2000cfs is needed to make this a decent run. It starts with a cobbly Class II and a long pool.

 

Bob's Glasses

The first rapid after a long pool. The main line is to start river right, and run the drop angled to the left. This hole, although very tight and steep can provide some good surfing.

 

Shoulder Snapper
Last rapid on the backside.  This rapid provides a nice hole to play in at higher levels, but even still it's relatively bony.
