Skykomish, S. Fork

This river can be very fun at flows above 4000, but be aware that it is no longer a mellow float when the level gets high.

There is a rapid about 2 miles below the class III rapid that is important to know about. The river gradually sweeps left and gets steeper, and then makes a sharp right turn. As you make this turn, you will see a giant hole that covers half of the river, and guess what - all of the current is heading right into it.

If you aren't to the right of it with 20 yards to go, start paddling hard. The hole can be punched with some effort.
