This rapid gets it's name from guess what? A hole that likes to keep paddlers who venture into it. At certain mid-levels it can be a keeper. The hole can be avoided by running next to the river left bank or also by running just right of center. There is a rock just right of that, and if you run to the right of the rock at levels over 500 beware of the strong eddy line caused by that rock. Some play in this area, just watch the hole. The hole however, at lower levels makes for good practice with hydraulics as it has the "grab" of some of the bad ones seen on other waterways, but less consequence.
