Description

This rapid is named for the persistent small diameter trees that always seem to get hung up or suspended above the river on the old bridge footings.

This is the single "biggest" drop on the run and should be scouted for wood on your walk up. During high flows a wave hole forms that is powerful and has great playboating potential. Likely class III at 500cfs and above. A deep and calm pool follows the drop.
