Description

The longest rapid on the river and one of the more hazardous, the Clog is a long boulder garden that leads to a riverwide hole at the bottom. It is named for a sucking sieve left of center below the first drop. You can run the first 5-foot drop in the center of the river, but that involves a ferry into the eddies on the left in front of the Clog. Our you can bang through a shallow slot top left that puts you on line for the eddies. These are a good place to scout the bottom drops. They can be run on the right or the left, but beware of pinning rocks in the center and right lines, and of a shark-fin rock sticking up in the middle just above the bottom river-wide hole, the Black Widow. It is best to hit this beast on the far right or far left.
