Description

Tuna Creek Falls is class IV+ and generally the most challenging drop on this lower section. This rapid has a steep drop and hydraulic at the top, then a twisting channel that wraps around a house-sized boulder. The standard line is around the right of this boulder but check for wood; the low-water line is to the left. The boulder is undercut requiring paddlers to be on their game in the lead in drop. At lower flows, many boaters portage the top drop on the right. The standard scout for this drop is on the right.
