Onion

To access and run the slide, park at the pull-off from the highway. There exists a faint hiking trail that goes upstream from here on river left. It is easy to access and scout this entire multiple tier slide called, 'Tears for Fears' from the trail. Put in where you feel comfortable. The traditional put-in is in an eddy where the river makes a sharp left turn and exits a small gorge well above the slide. This adds a few great features with an entry slide and allows one to take in the massive horizon line of the Lake. The slide was first run by John Kiffmeyer and a visiting East coast crew.

The first full run of the Onion was completed by John Kiffmeyer and Loren Moulton back in the early 2000's.
