Russell Rapid

Description

Just below Canoe Hole, the river bends right, into a constricted channel that eventually pushes into the right bank. Move left near the end of this dogleg and then realize it's not over - a hidden pourover downstream catches many folks off guard. Usually a fairly harmless drop surf, but if you want to keep your nose clean, move left at the bottom. Another nice Class II-III rapid waits downstream and then the long pool above Keep Right.
