A few rapids and a nice long-boat surf wave in a bedrock gorge below the Bureau of Reclamation closure zone downstream of the Hungry Horse Dam. The gorge walls are undercut and flows over 3,000 are not recommended. Note that the put in location is relative to the whitewater, not necessarily the closure zone.
A dramatic bend in the river that has reportedly been the site of non-paddler drownings. Like the rest of the gorge, beware of undercut walls and caves in this area.
