looking downstream from the Horeshoe Bend turnout. The first rapid in the foreground must be run as it can not be portaged. There is some sneak potential on the river left side, (not visible in this picture).

Low water in late summer, just below Boyden Cave parking area.
Looking at the lead into Horseshoe Bend. Big Drops with late summer low flows.

One of two rapids in Horseshoe Bend that cannot be portaged, at least not without great difficulty. The big floods of recent years, seem to have made the rapid less difficult.
