Description

This short rapid on the Dead River offers solid surfing opportunities with clean waves and minimal hazards. Paddlers should aim for the center-right line to avoid scattered rocks and utilize the wave train for playboating. At medium water levels, the rapid provides a consistent, enjoyable ride with good potential for wave moves and eddy-hopping.
