Description

The last rapid in this section is a long slalom that weaves between several large holes. It finishes with a nice wave train ending at the slackwater from the Kerchoff #2 powerhouse. It is pretty easy to carry back upstream and run this rapid as many times as you want. Also, a trail up to the parking area starts near the top of this rapid.
