First Drop of Double Drop

Description

Double Drop is the first of three rapids known as 'The Big Three'. The main line is on river right with a series of two drops. Catch an eddy on river right above the first drop then ferry across and drop off beside a rock on the left side. This will land you in a boiling eddy where you will then paddle aggresively down the center to run the second drop with a little left angle.

The alternate Double Drop line is extremely far river left. This line is a class II read and run line that lands in a large eddy.

One of the better play spots is located just above this rapid. It is a low-angled, fluffy hole that is great for today's short boats.
