(class III+), Rockgarden (class IV) Be aware of the dangerous spot that exist on the right in this rapid, and Submarine Falls (class II+). Soon after these drops you will pass Clear Creek which enters in from the left 4.2 miles into the run from Obed Junction. You will encounter four more class III rapids separated by calm stretches of river, the last two of which are known as as Keep Right and Widowmaker.'
