Description

The river again pushes from right to left setting up a very long wave train at normal flows. The first two waves can be large and flip new kayakers. However, they can make great play holes. The run here is typically center to left-center. River right runs over a shallower section of rock and while it may be easier, it can be more risky in the event of a flip. See photo. For those interested in park and play look for the break in the guardrail at Highway 55 mile 66.6. Rapid located at USGS river mile 60.6.
