Description

This rapid was originally named Hornet’s Nest because of a large nest on river right. That nest has since disappeared, but the large developed property on river left give it the current name of Geezer Beach (noting the age of the property owner). This is a complicated rapid that includes a sizable 2.5 ft drop that exits into many small and convoluted holes and diagonals. Lines include boofing just right of center, running the center tongue, or staying left and bumping down. Note that the smaller holes at the bottom are known to give paddlers funky problems until the bottom.  Some of the funky water is likely due to the fact that some of the rocks were added to try to control erosion in this stretch.  Boogie to follow.
