Herringbone

Description

Shallow boulders guard the entrance to Herringbone. After weaving among the shallow rocks boaters usually enter the rapid near the shore and into a chute. Be alert for a boulder/pour over near the bottom of this chute; boaters usually pass to the right of the boulder/pour over, though many elect to run the narrower and more turbulent channel between the boulder and the left shore. At low water, below the boulder/pour over, navigate more towards the center of the river to avoid the shallow rocks. At all water levels miss the large Whale Rock at the bottom of the rapid; boaters usually pass the Whale Rock on the left.
