Description

AKA: "Dan's Delight". The river goes over a small shoal and then takes a hard right through some decent waves. There are eddies along river left that are crispy and fun to catch (try and get "Jeep Eddy"). The tail waves of the rapid offer the opportunity to do some wave wheels over the little waves. The water is deep enough for rolls, so don't worry when you flip. Also a good place to practice rolls in move water. Just check the depth before you give it a go (generally the deep spot starts about 3/5 of the way through the rapid).
