just a small detail, but it is an 11.1 mile run from bakers island to the sandy beach (not 9 as previously stated). Sewer plant rapid appears when you start to see a sewer pipe. It involves starting center or right (depending on the flow) and cutting hard right to miss a ledge hole/pour over above the end of the rapid where the river cuts right. Another notable rapid appears almost at the end. Look for the old ford and then a swinging bridge that is hanging in the water. This rapid (just above the takeout) can have sizeable holes. If you want to avoid punching the main hole then a ferry can be made to river left part way through the run, otherwise punch away.

This is a typical rapid a couple of miles below Webster Springs.
Who's canoe is that upside down pinned on a rock??
Jay runs through a nice little hole about 7 miles below Webster Springs

We love paddling this one when the flow is around five or six thousand CFS. There are just 16 miles of terrific big 6 foot and relatively consequence free surfing waves. Beautiful valley. Surf, Surf, Surf!
