Portage

Get out and walk around the dam. This is also the takeout if you're running the 'Bottom' or 'Top 4,' which paddlers often do when there's enough water to run the first four rapids but no scheduled release--and therefore not enough water to run the 'Bottom Bottom.'

At exceptionally high flows, spillover makes this dam a runnable rapid, though a significant pothole and undercut, both directly in the main line, are significant hazards.

Be careful, especially in winter. This might be the most dangerous thing you do all day.
