Description

The first rapid of the run, it can be scouted from the Hopper Bridge. Put in just upstream of the bridge on river right. At low flows, down the center is the only available line. At higher flows, a few options open up, including a boof on river right into the middle flow. There is an undercut rock at the bottom, and a recovery pool. At low flows it's an easy class II+, at higher flows, a class II+/III-.
