Description

This is a fun rapid but at low water has both a pinning slot and a two-sided broach pin hazard in the middle/main drop.  Scout from the river left eddy above the drop or on the left bank and avoid the pin spot by running down the middle. At flows above 12000 CFS this rapid has two incredible holes for big air play right in the middle.  During spring its common for the bottom of this rapid to be flooded by the lake and the water coming in from the river.  This rapid is fully in when Lake Cumberland reaches 718 ft in elevation
