Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 1,000.0 – 100,000.0 CFS
Description

Easily recognized by the large yellow bridge over the river just below the rapid. There is a large rock on the top left side of the rapid. At flows above 60,000 cfs this rock creates a large wave called the "Big Easy" or "Haystack." At flows below 20,000 cfs, the wave disappears and a large hole forms. At the low flows (around 3000 cfs) of late summer when the rock is fully exposed, the easy line is to the left of the rock. Located at river mile 93.0.
