Description

You'll know when this is coming up as you'll see a small red house perched above the creek on river right. Take out on river left to scout. This Rapid is actually pretty cool, but there's a nasty looking pointy rock on the left in the finish drop, hence the name. You won't see the rock very well unless the water is fairly low (like in the photo). Luckily, the rock is only in play in the bottom of the runnable range (2.3-2.5' or so) and even then it flushes you past it/around it pretty smoothly.

This drop is followed by a tight bend where the river drops a few more feet.
