Trip Report

ReporterRonald Bright

There are three basic lines on the second major rapid from the put in. (Where Shumate Falls is located). At 4.18 feet there are two class II slots to the left. There is a center line which is a low class III with a sticky hole which is easy to punch through. The far right site where Shumate Falls is located is class III+ /-IV with a major keeper hole in the horseshoe. To scout this rapid you must get out out the island and cross barbed wire fence on the other side of the island. As 8/7/09 the land was not posted. I do not recommend to eddy out above the rapid. If you decide not to run the rapid there is heavy fast current and it is truly a scary ferry.
