This is at Blockhead Rapid on the far right side of the river. Do not take this way if you are in a canoe. It's too tight to manuever.

The river was at a level of 5.5 when we floated it.

I floated this river at a 5.5; 6 is considered dangerous so the current was moving fast this day.
There's a horizon when coming upon the rapid. Go river left and avoid the hole in the middle of the river. There's a rock in the middle of the river that's hidden at this level. If you do go river middle then you will go over this hidden rock and plunge into a 4 ft hole. Regardless if your canoe has floatation, you will surely swim...
