Gauge Conditions
Arguably most difficult at 4-5'. Above 5', things begin to wash out, though there are some BIG holes and waves.
Description
The rapid starts with some fairly easy waves, then a sharp turn to the right. After the turn the river continues (with several nice eddies both left and right) towards a large rock called "Schoolhouse Rock". Most paddlers will pass to the right of "Schoolhouse Rock", but a run to the left can be done as well. From the left side, here's a neat move through a slot between the huge Schoolhouse Rock and a small rock just downstream of it for those that like to be challenged. A fairly easy rapid with a playable wave train. Below "Schoolhouse Rock" there is a nice big eddy and below that an area of weird cross-currents called "The Land of Schwerley Waters".
