Description

Gremlin's comes after a couple of class I rapids that start the run and a brief pool. This rapid is wide and fairly long, with a slight bend to the left. The best features tend to be right of center. The rapid ends with a breaking wave that tends to be better for surfing and enders the lower the flow, and is a great spot for rolling practice.
