The first good rapid, Tenderizer, as seen from the road. There is at least one parking spot on either side of the road here, making it the best place to put in if you want to skip 1.7 miles of mostly flatwater.
Looking into the pit. Obviously a mandatory portage at this low level, even if it didn't have wood in it. Author of photo unknown.
Probably the best rapid on the run! The meat of the hole is hidden by the huge boulder on the right (river left, aka the Hard Place), but it's a hoss!
One of the ugliest rapids anywhere. Mandatory portage at all but the highest levels and even then, probably not worth attempting.
Notice the extra foamy spot that is partially obscured by the tree on the left side of the photo. This is the location of the bad pin rock.
Looking down at Lumberjack, with wood in the right side of the hole as per usual. The sneak route, though not an option at this level, is also completely jammed up with wood.
