Description
A creek on river right delivered signficant debris to the river and changed this rapid in 2023. The preferred line varies with flow and the rapid entrance can be scouted from the right or left. At low flows the lower part of the rapid gets very shallow making this one of the tougher spots to navigate during summer low flows.
