Rapid Details

Name Pinball Rapid
Class IV
Description

This is the last big rapid on the Giant Gap stretch.  Just below here is the takeout. This isn't the hardest rapid but after a long day of paddling V's and IV' you still want to treat this rapid with respect.  Pick your zig zag line through the boulders.
