Description

At flows lower than 2,000 cfs, this rapid can get a bit narrow and congested with willows on river left so be prepared to aim right to avoid them and duck forward if you need to as you thread the needle between them and the rocks on river right. The take-out at Nordheimer Campground is at the mouth of the creek on river left immediately after this rapid. Don't miss it.
