Log in to add a reportLook for this to exit the Upper, unless that is you're ready for the Lower!
Thor's Hammer Rapid @ 6.66 feet. Located 150 Yards below the railroad bridge far river right.
Left Left Rapid @ around 5.5 feet. About the minimal flow for this side. A lot funner when the two rocks the water is flowing between are just about under water witch is at 8 feet on the gauge. Exit this channel on the right at the first cut after Left Left and run the tail section of Pin Ball.
Lining up with Thor at 6.9 feet or 12,000cfs
