Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description

A gravel bar/island which previously defined this rapid was mined out, and is now reforming back. Wood/strainers often catch on the banks on both sides.

Go river right of the island (river left is too shallow to paddle). The current speeds up and there are eddies both left and right to practice ferrying and eddy hopping. While most of the river is quite shallow, the main channel through here is deep enough to roll if you want to practice your roll in moving water.
