Dunbar Brook Rapid

Also known as 'Eddy Hop' or 'Crazy Eddys' by old timers. At almost one-quarter mile long (the longest rapid on the river), it starts at the confluence with Dunbar Brook a popular lunch and break spot on river right. This rapid is mainly known for two large pourovers one at the top of the rapid and one in the middle. It is difficult to take a straight line through this rapid so hopping from eddy to eddy from river left then river right etc. is the tactical approach most boaters use. It is possible to eddy back and forth across the river over twenty times while paddling down this rapid.
