Description

Cotton Candy comes after a class III lead in rapid. A distinct horizon line marks the approach to this rapid. At moderate flows you can scout on river right. A portage on river right is possible with assistance. At lower flows this rapid is more a slide but as flows increase a hole starts to form.
