Description

Shortly after Surprise, there is an easy lead-in to a constriction that turns hard right, then back left in quick sequence. Expect a hole on the outside of the first bend up against the rock and watch for trees here as they tend to collect between the turns. As with all the drops on this reach, if you do not have the skills or confidence to boat scout this from eddy to eddy, and cannot see clear to the bottom, get out and take a look.

As you finish this final rapids, you are very nearly in the backwaters of Gresham Pond 147 (AKA Upper Red Lake), which means most of the final mile (+/-) of this run will be slow going (little-to-no current).
