For most people, the key to the S-Bends is to watch out for the first diagonal wave on the right, and paddle into it. Once you're through that, the rest of the rapid is fun.

The hole after the second bend is huge, but you don't have to run it - there's plenty of room to the right, and the rapid below it is a lot of fun.

Question: Has anyone tried Goodell Creek from the group campground down to the put-in? It looks like possible fun, but we weren't sure it was free of logs.
