Description
The very first rapid is one of the steeper ones on this section, but it is wide and straight.

A long, wide section of flatwater follows. There are small eddies along the sides which are good for practicing eddy turns and peel outs. There are some bedrock features and cliffs along the right side which form small play waves, and sharp eddy lines.
