Description

Situated in a right-hand bend in the creek, Munch Stop is the next large rapid in the run. On the left, a large boulder forms an eddy from which the rapid can be boat-scouted. A flake forms a nice boof about 10 feet to the right of the rock; however the current here pushes hard towards the rock, which harbors a nasty looking pocket which will ensnare the unwary. For those not wanting to do the boof, other lines exist on the center and right, where the creek pours over and through a series of smaller rocks.
