Fishing Hole
|
Right below the put-in drop, is this drop. Lots of people tend to be fishing directly above and below this drop so announce your presence or get hooks hurled at you.
Run this right down the middle- then immediately paddle hard left or right to avoid the F-U rock. Left may be bumpy, right will have you avoiding another big rock.
|
Easily scoutable from the shore at the put-in.

The Irregular Drop
|
Probably the biggest drop on the run(4ft?). Several options may exist, however the smoothest I've found is to start center left, avoid farthest right and left. Slide over the irregular part kinda diagonally. Brace. Avoid the run-out rocks on the right. Turn around, as you float away, to marvel at the irregularness of it. Starts washing out over 900cfs
|
There is no scouting of this. Go with someone who knows, or just gut it and hope for the best.

Behind the Dinosaur Park
|
Describing the whole bend behind the Dinosaur park: Starts with a few small rocky/ledge drops, then run river left and turn left, avoid some rocks on the right, read and run fun stuff, then two more big easy drops spaced pretty far apart-defining the nature of the remaining drops.

Three Forks
|
Not so much a rapid as it's a split of the river. Staying right is the normal line at optimal flows. Going down the center line gives a sometimes bumpy, change of scenery at flows over 200cfs. The left channel has been cleared of vegetation for lower flows.

Lorrin Farr wave
|
At the take out, is a super-friendly surf feature under the bridge. Eddy service sucks though, so roll quick, or you'll be hiking back up. It's surfable year-round, although the epic 2011 runoff has seen hard-to-surf high levels.
