Description

aka Beech Creek.  This rapid is located  just at the confluence with Beech Creek on river left.  This is a great place to warm up with some nice eddy hopping.  The main feature of this rapid is the pour over hole at the bottom of the drop.  The traditional line goes right through this hole, hit it straight and power through as there is a broach rock (one of the many rocks coming from Beech Creek) on river left just downstream of the hole.  Watch for wood here after high water events.
