Description

*Wood Alert* This rapid renown for holding wood (commonly on the right side), always approach with caution.

After catching an eddy below Diagonal Ledge, set up to run Regional (Rockpile). It is fairly easy to boat scout and eddy hop the top of this section. The first 25 yards allow for zig zagging slots between boulders before a paddler must commit to one side or the other.

The river left line will lead you into the Slalom Course (Left), and the river right line is a manky run straight down to Shovel Rock Smile Slide.

Note: This rapid was also downgraded quite a bit after the 2020 flood event - opening up the former left side Regional Boof and Right Side of Rockpile.
