Description

If boaters stay far right after Sidewinder they can enter the "Chicken Chute" which is a long narrow rocky channel that avoids Rooster Tail Rapid. Most boaters stay left after Sidewinder and enter "The Narrows", which requires a series of interesting maneuvers through a field of boulders and ledges. Kayaks will find some excellent play spots at many flows.
