Camp 1 Rapids

Boren Rapids (I-II) and Mason Rapids (II) are two, relatively easy, rocky runs separated by a short pool before the river splits around an island (main flow is left).  There is a signed portage on river-right just above the island that allows easy access to scouting of the terminal bolder wall of Camp 1 Rapids.  At flows under 350 cfs the terminal bolder wall becomes practically impenetrable.  At higher flows the clean path through is very tight – a regular canoe-eater with a long bushwhacking walk out.  In either case, scouting is helpful because the terminal boulder wall presents as a hard to see, horizontal line (ledge like) in fast flow, with very little warning.  Just beyond the terminal boulder wall is a large, very deep, stillwater pool (probably littered with submerged canoeing/fishing equipment).
