Old Scary

This was the biggest rapid (class IV) in the section until the floods of 1982-83. The river bends to the left and affords a view of motor homes and travel trailers lined up above the river on the right bank. The river continues curving to the left as it splits into two channels and drops down a wide rapid. The left channel features a shallow ledge that can be avoided on either side (going left is the easiest line in the rapid). The right channel is longer and more technical. Several large guard rocks at the bottom right offer targets for those without boat control or for those looking for extra fun maneuvering.
