Description

This is the biggest and most problematic rapid in this section of the Klamath.  The Dragon's Tooth is a large rock outcrop in the middle of the river.  Smaller outcrops clutter the sides and direct river traffic towards the tooth. Kayaks have a choie of lines--either right or left. Rafts generally go left of the main rock, the Dragon's Tooth. It's a tricky move.
