Rocky Gap

Rocky Gap, also known as Redwood Falls, is a Class V rapid at ideal flows and seldom run. It is a 3-tiered drop, with undercut rocks and seives. Most choose to portage it on river left. Fatailities have occured in this rapid, do not underestimate the hazards. Portaging it on river left involves catching a small eddy immediately upstream of the first drop. This eddy barely has room for 2 kayaks. At lower flows, making the ferry from the beach on river right to the small eddy on river left is not difficult, but becomes a trickier manuever as flows increase.
