Wild Wolf Chute

RapidClass III
Wild Wolf Chute

Description

A long island divides the river. The standard route is the left channel past big laterals coming off the left bank. Conservative boaters stay middle.

A large round boulder rests in the pool where the two channels merge. At flows above 5,000 cfs this boulder forms a big sticky, raft flipping hole, 'Train Wreck', that catches the unwary. Swimmers here will tend to flush on through Bear Wallow. The commercial rafters tend to run a right side chute at high flows to avoid any possible 'Train Wrecks'.
