To avoid Target Rock rapid, simply stay far right and run along the bank parallel to the walking trail. This is a Class II line called either Seven Drops or Girl Scout (depending, probably, on whether you ran it or your friend did).
To run Target Rock, proceed just left of the island that separates the river through a small wavetrain with a big eddy. Now move to the far left and run the rapid about 10 feet off of the left bank. You can either A) be prepared to catch a hard left eddy after the main drop, then ferry out and around the rock, or B) be prepared to move right after the main drop to avoid the rock. Either one is fine, but decide ahead of time.
