Spike
Description
Spike is the first named rapid of Daddy's Creek Canyon proper. A tricky and sticky ledge just upstream marks the first drop, after which the river bends right and funnels into a narrow, ever-steepening rock corridor that finishes at a 3 foot sloping ledge. The far right side at the bottom has a dark room to that's easily avoided by staying center with a touch of left angle. Watch the swirly eddy on the left if you're too avoidant, and at low water (Under 1.4) the namesake 'Spike' rock begins to stick up in the center of the line, so move a little more left.
