Description

You will paddle through some choppy water around bend and under power lines.  You will see a small island ahead that has two paths around it.  The first you notice continues off at about 45 degrees to the left.  The 2nd path, a 90 degree turn to river right, will come into view when you are almost on top of it.  Go Right!  At first you might not even see the right-hand channel, but that is where the main flow is.  The left channel is sometimes runnable, but it is very shallow and usually choked with wood that you can't see from above.  Unless you have scouted left and have high flows, Go Right.

This rapid can be tricky.  The current will try to push you into the island in front of you and the main drop happens as you are executing a 90 degree turn to river right.  Most people "cut the corner" to avoid turning perpedicular to the creek flow.  Immediately after taking your hard right, you must take a hard left over a smaller drop.  You will then pass through some choppy class II water down to where the left channel joins back into the main creek flow.  The rapid ends as you come within site of route 67.
