Description

This is a nice rapid to run at almost any level on the creek, but over 5 feet gets a bit chaotic. Over 6 feet a large hole forms in the middle at the end of the rapid. This little fella is formed by an undercut rock. Also, there is a nice wave that forms in the middle of the series around 4.5 feet.

At the bottom, in the middle is a nice rock for practicing boofs.

Thanks to the nice rail to trail on river right, it's pretty common for boaters to lap this rapid 2 or 3 times. Take out on river right at the bottom of the rapid, walk up the river bank, and onto a nice rail trail that will take you back to the beginning of the rapid under the US 322 bridge.

The rail trail also makes it very easy to portage this rapid.

Again, even if the creek is at low or below runnable levels, this rapid is usually still good to go.
