Description

This long rapid is formed on the upstream end of the cobble bar that extends along Quail Flat. There's often wood anchored into the riverbed near the top of the rapid, so be alert as you approach the entry. The river is accessible near the bottom of the rapid via an unmarked dirt road off Salmon River Road, followed by a short walk.
