Description

Halfway down Firemen's Field Rapid are two holes. These holes are called Dead Rock Star. The second hole is about 40 feet down-stream of the first. Both holes are nearly river wide, but there’s plenty of room to go around them on river right. Many paddlers just punch these holes. At certain levels they are good for side surfing.
