Description

This rapid is marked by the obvious retaining wall along Cecilville Road on the left. Current piles up on a boulder on the left bank, creating some weird currents and seams. Wood sometimes gets lodged to the left of the boulder in a swirling eddy. A few rocks, holes, and waves are in the long runout, and there are some surf waves at high flows.
