Jonah's Whale

Jonah's Whale

Description

A noteworthy rapid for sure and definitely one to scout for a first time.  Eddy out river right near the top.  The majority of the flow at the bottom of the rapid goes straight into a whale sized rock with a gaping mouth that tends to collect wood.  Low water closes off a rocky right channel, forcing you to stay in the current longer, although there will be less push.  At levels 8 inches or more though, and especially above 12, it's easy to get into this right channel and avoid the whale by the widest margin.  Walking is easy on river right.
