Description

This drop can be safely run but it's important to know the hazards. Toby Scarpella drowned running this rapid when he was pinned. There is a left side boof that is an option but make sure you scout the landing zone and don't hit the rocks. Across the center there are dangerous pin hazards. A final option is an S turn move on the right side. If there is any doubt on the line you can always take the conservative route and portage. Located at river mile 0.35.
