Slalom

Slalom is a long rapid with a couple holes to avoid. Start right but immediately begin working left as the biggest hole in the drop known as “See More” is near the start of the rapid on river right. Once you have passed the first big hole work back right to avoid a hole on the left. One final hole is near the bottom right. This rapid is more of a class IV- than a class IV, but it is a challenging rapid with unpleasant consequences if you end up in one of the holes. At lower flows these holes are pretty small, easy to punch if you have some rocker to your kayak.

Towards the end of the rapid on river left is a pair of large rocks known locally as the Dolly Parton's. These are fun to eddy out behind. At high flows, Dolly's go from eddy to dark death hole. Directly below Dolly's on full river left is a fun optional boof. Its a green water ledge with a hole at the bottom that isn't very retentive. Paddlers like to gather in the following the eddy to gather stragglers and watch their boofs. After this there is one more feature on this rapid then it is flat water all the way to the confuluence.
