Lower Snaketail Rapids

OtherClass II45.88981, -88.49595

Description

At 240 feet, this is the shortest of the 3 class-2 Snaketail Rapids.  It has no portage.  It is a pushy, S-shaped run with rock bumpers to avoid.  At lower flows pushiness decreases and this rapids can drop to a class-1.  Over half of the 4 miles between the end of Lower Snaketail Rapids and Myers Falls is of swifts with some class 1 rapids.  There are long stretches that dance along nicely.
