Log in to add a report6/23/2014. There was a log spanning the river in the middle of Rattlesnake rapid. At the current flow of 1000cfs, it was a mandatory portage. The log is higher on river left than river right, so as flows drop, you may be able to sneak underneath on the left side. I recommend scouting for sure.
This is the first of the big drops. Taken at low water.
This is the upper portion of Rattlesnake. Low water.
This is the middle section. This is also the crux of the run. Low water.
This is the runout from Rattlesnake. Low water.
This is the third drop. Short and sweet. Low water.
This is right at the take out. Low water.
This was taken from the big boulder on the right bank that overhangs this drop. Low water.
This is a different view of the crux.
