Description

The Slot is left of Moose Jaw Falls and right of The Maze.

This is a bumpy slot dropping 5 or 6 feet into the pool below Moose Jaw Falls. Really bumpy below 3,000 cfs. Even above that, keep your bow up to prevent smashing into the rock that creates a roostertail about halfway through the rapid. With more water it gets smoother and is quite a bit of fun. At flood it merges into Moose Jaw Falls and becomes a scary mess.
