Description
This rapid is at the base of Garlic Creek Falls. Large boulders create a variety of channel and drops. This rapid has usually felt to be one of the easier class 5 rapids on this section. The key is figuring out which routes are good and which are dead ends. Scout or portage on the left. This rapid marks the end of the class 5 rapids till Little Hand of God, two miles downstream.
