Description

A 150 yard 90-degree right-hand turn with large holes, large waves, and large rocks river left. The preferred line is to start left and cut to the right squaring up to the diagnols. Satans Gate starts the three rapids that make up Hells Corner. The current sweeps pretty immediately into Hells Corner Rapid, so swims should be avoided if at all possible!
