Description

The first major rapid on this section of the Haw. There are rapids on either side of an island. On the left, there is a rocky Class I. On the right, there is a slighty more technical, but fun rapid named, Sawtooth Ledge (II). The rocks at the end of this rapid are sometimes hard to avoid. Photo shows what it looks like from the bottom of the rapid at ~1,200 cfs
