Description
A moderate Class II rapid located just downstream of the Cottonwood Creek confluence, featuring scattered mid-channel boulder gardens that require careful boat positioning and maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate between exposed rocks and pick a clean line through the upper and middle sections, with potential for small waves and minor hydraulics during moderate water levels.
