Description

An easy rapid the starts just above the Maplewood bridge. At the tail end of the rapid is a chute formed by a large rock on river right. The main flow at low to medium water levels pushes over a pourover in the middle of the chute. The pourover is easily avoided by catching the eddy behind the rock on river right. From here a jet ferry will carry you above the pourover into an eddy on river left. This eddy affords great access to a series of nice surfable standing waves just below the pourover.
