Biggest rapid, entrance
| Description: |
I think this is the entrance to the largest rapid that we encountered. It is only large in relative terms, but for the beginners in the group it was hair raising. It is a narrow channel with a first drop that accelerates the water. Halfway through is a large horizon line that looks like it could be an abrupt drop. At 1200 cfs the drop itself was very smooth, but the waves following were big enough to get some water in my canoe. Beginners without sufficient maneuvering skill, judgment or guidance from experienced boaters could easily end up tipped or swept into trees along the side. |
