Description
A footbridge signals Garfield or Boy Scout Rapid (named for the Scout camp on river left). Class II rapids lead to a second footbridge, which is the heart of this half-mile, somewhat 'technical', boulder-garden rapid. In high water, Boy Scout rapid becomes pushy. Fatal accidents have occurred here, and the rocks under the second footbridge have caused foot entrapments. If out of your boat, float with your feet as near the surface as possible! Do not try to stand in moving water! With enough water, the rocks are all covered, and the rapids is far less technical.
