Description

One of the most unique rapids in the area in my opinion. Work your way left when you see the dam wall. Hug the inside of the curve and watch for rocks. This also can be used as a gage for how water will be for the whole run. If you park at Erect Rd and see exposed rocks here, you are going to scrape the whole way down. This is also the last significant rapid. Downstream are some class I-II with one or two ledges with a surf wave and lots of flat.
