San Joaquin
4. Patterson Bend (Kerckhoff Reservoir to Kerchoff #1 PH)


Between the first class 5s and Binocular Rapid are several interesting rapids which were class 3 or 4 at our flow. This one is definitely class 4. Both of us got surfed in a hole halfway through. It let us out without much difficulty, but it took us by surprise.
