American Whitewater
First rapid, Merced near Snelling
Description
There is a large flat pool at the put in for paddling around and warming up. But the sound of whitewater comes from just downstream. Several distinct drops come in quick succession once you commit to this right side channel. This is one of the bigger rapids on the section but a couple others are as big or a bit bigger. Canoes and open cockpit kayaks will probably get some water splashed in.
