Description

After Whales Tail enjoy a long fun boogie section. This rapid is easily itentified from the road as you can see a large rock island in the middle. Enter River right at the entry rapid "staircase", then island comes next at higher flows there are boofs far right and left of center. At lower flows run just right of the island.
