Trip Report

ReporterMichael Morrow

Some friends and I ran this on Thursday (6/20/03). There was a strainer across the left channel at the top of the island above 29 or Toilet Bowl. This is what I have always called the rapid where the water goes under the two rocks on the left. You have to run to the right of the island. We hit an eddy on river right just before the river curves back left above Toilet Bowl. We made the portage on river right from there. There is a slot on river right that some people may run to avoid the second part of the portage on the right. Beware, there is barbed wire across the river from the right side to a rock in the middle. Very difficult to see. We were not sure how it got there. There are also some limbs in the left side of the slot sticking out from under the rock. The level was 2.5' on the middle pylon. On the right pylon it was 1.5'.
